2024 Year in Review​
​
What an exciting year it has been for Plein Air Painters Carolina!
Our group has continued to grow, welcoming new artists of all skill levels who share a passion for painting outdoors.
With members spanning from the Lowcountry to the Blue Ridge Mountains, we have explored some of South Carolina’s most breathtaking landscapes, capturing them in oils, pastels, acrylics, gouache, and watercolor.
​
One of the highlights of the past year was our largest group gallery showing to date, En Plein Air… In Plain Sight at Pickens Art Gallery. The exhibition showcased a stunning collection of original plein air paintings from our members, celebrating the beauty of the natural world and the talent within our community.
​
We also expanded our reach with the launch of our Online Artist Gallery, allowing members to sell their artwork directly to collectors. Meanwhile, our social media presence continues to grow, with more artists connecting through our Instagram and our newly established Facebook group.
​
As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to fostering a welcoming space for artists to learn, share, and create together. Whether through paint-outs, workshops, or exhibitions, we are excited for what the future holds.

Brushes up!
