Call for Art: Exhibition Opportunity

Calling all artists! Yavapai College’s Prescott Campus Art Gallery announces that submissions are now open for Art in the Pines: The Fifth Annual Prescott Plein Air Festival. Plein Air painters from everywhere are encouraged to bring themselves and their works to the beautiful mountain town of Prescott, Arizona and paint the pine forests, boulder-lined highland lakes and historic architecture.

Submissions for the Plein Air festival close April 5.

Sponsored by Yavapai College and The Highlands Center for Natural History, The Plein Air Festival celebrates Prescott’s gorgeous vistas, compelling history and architectural beauty. Artists present their work in the gallery, while creating future works on the trailheads and scenic byways of the Prescott area during the festival.

The Festival runs October 9-13, with a reception and sale at YC’s Prescott Campus Gallery in the Jim and Linda Lee Performing Arts Center on October 13 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Artists will receive 50 percent of sales of paintings completed during the Festival. The Best of Show winner will be awarded $1,000 and a solo exhibition at the Yavapai College Patty McMullen-Mikles Gallery in Clarkdale, AZ.

The artist application fee is $35. Plein Air artists may apply via the Yavapai College Prescott Art Gallery’s Submittable Page, at:
