Plein Air Contest 2023

Be on the lookout for our participants at the CCF!

Plein Air Contest 2023

The Plein Air Contest is ON for the 2023 Clay County Fair!

What is Plein Air? It's painting outdoors with outdoor subject matter! In this case, you'll be painting what you see outdoors at the fair!

Painting opportunities are offered Sunday-Thursday of the fair (the 14th through the 20th). Our artists get 7 hours to work on their painting and return a finished piece to us for judging by selected "celebrity" judges along with a people's choice vote. 

Stay tuned to congratulate this year's winners!
