Castine, Maine - The Castine Arts Association has announced the dates for its third annual Plein Air Festival. This year’s festival will again be a three-day event to be held on July 23rd, 24th and 25th in Castine (Maine). Forty juried artists will participate in this year’s art festival. Activities will commence with artist registration on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd beginning at 7:30am at the Castine Town Common on Court Street. Over the course of the three-day festival, the public will have the opportunity to observe and visit these artists as they paint their interpretations of Castine’s waterfront, Federal architecture, forts, and other landscapes. Many of America's most famous artists have been painting the beauty and history of Castine for over 300 years.
The event will conclude on the afternoon of July 25th with judging and an exhibition, followed by a sale of the original art created over the three-day festival. The public is cordially invited to attend the sale and reception, hosted by the Castine Arts Association. As a change from prior years, the reception/sale will begin at 4PM on Saturday, July 26th at the Maine Maritime Academy’s Harborview Room. All art created during the festival will be framed, on display, and available for purchase. Admission for the three-day event, including the sale and reception, is free to the public.
