The Wyoming Arts Council, in partnership with Wyoming State Parks and Sagebrush Artisans, will be hosting the second Plein Air in the Parks event this summer in Hot Springs State Park in Thermopolis on September 11-15, 2024. Registration is now open on eventbrite.com. Early bird registration is available through August 31.

Plein Air in the Parks seeks to engage regional and youth artists in the legacy of creating art on-site outdoors, all while exploring the rich landscapes of Wyoming. Artists are invited to participate through one or all of the days, and the public is invited to attend a variety of events throughout the week, which culminates with a reception, show, and sale on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 1-3 p.m at the Hot Springs Hotel conference room. Additionally, there will be 2 workshops on plein air techniques and guided park tours for artists from Park rangers.

At the show and sale, artists are able to show the work they completed during their time in the park while guests can browse and purchase the work. Outside jurors will award cash prizes totaling over $2,000 dollars. Youth and teen categories will be judged separately. A People’s Choice Award is selected by attendees at the reception, show, and sale.

Plein Air in the Parks events are intended to open and close the busy season of Wyoming State Parks. This collaboration between the Wyoming Arts Council and State Parks aims to highlight the stunning landscapes of our state while engaging with artists and community members through these events.
