In the spirit of the French Salon created by the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the Plein Air Salon, with monthly cycles leading to annual Salon Grand Prize winners, is designed to stimulate artistic growth through competition.
Today we celebrate the works of nine winners from the acrylic paintings division of the Plein Air Salon.
The Plein Air Salon rewards artists with $33,600 in cash prizes and exposure of their work, with the winning painting featured on the cover of Plein Air Magazine. The art competition is now open and accepting entries.
