Westmoreland Conservation District Holds Plein Air Paint Out
“Plein air” is a style of painting outdoors, or with a powerful sense of the open air, as illustrated in the photo provided by Westmoreland Conservation District.
The Westmoreland Conservation District celebrated its 75th Anniversary with a Plein Air Paint Out, Reception, Exhibition, and Sale. Local artists were invited to paint scenes around the district’s conservation campus during a three-day period. Fourteen artists submitted 36 pieces of art featuring conservation practices like a pollinator meadow, compost bins, gardens, bee hives, and water features, as well as the district office.
This event was designed to promote the Westmoreland Conservation District’s mission, projects, and programs as it celebrates its 75th Anniversary in 2024.
