The first event is the Taos Plein Air event that begins September 20 and continues through October 12. The event will begin with a paint-out from September 19 to 24 in the areas of Taos, Questa, Eagles Nest and Angel Fire areas. Following that portion, events will move indoors to Wilder Nightingale Fine Art in Taos starting September 25, with a special reception held from 5 to 7 p.m. that night. The juried event will also include an artist workshop with Bill Gallen on September 18 and 19.
“This is a cooperative effort between the Couse-Sharp Site, the E.L. Blumenschein Museum, Taos Art Museum at Fechin House and the Wilder Nightingale Fine Arts,” says event chair and artist Dick Wimberly.

“The artists give us something new to fall in love with. They attend to preserving natures environment by sharing their perspectives,” adds Stephanie West, communications director. “The artists help us see vistas and remote areas with new eyes.”
Following the September event, Plein Air Painters of New Mexico turns its attention to the 13th National Juried Members Exhibition that opens October 30 at Sorrel Sky Gallery in Santa Fe.
