It’s Not Too Late for In Plein Sight® 2018!

/in , , /by

 

In Plein Sight 2018 is off to a roaring start, with a wonderful day of painting this past Monday at Lair O’ the Bear Park in Idledale.  Tuesday was the Artists choice day, as we set up the Art Gallery in the Golden Community Center. Today we were at Alderfer/Three Sisters Park in Evergreen, and what a beautiful day it was!

It’s not to late to view the two dozen plein air painters as they work in the field. Tomorrow, Thursday, 9/13, we’ll be at Elk Meadow Park, Lewis Ridge trailhead, 2855 Bergen Peak Drive, Evergreen.

On Friday we tackle Centennial Cone Park, the Ralph Schell (north) trailhead, 3956 Camino Perdido, Golden.

And Saturday we’ll be painting along Clear Creek in Golden (the booth will be opposite the Golden Community Center and adjacent to the trail, off 10th Street.)

So you see, there’s plenty of time to join us in the field!

In addition to the “in the Parks” experience, you can view the paintings produced during the week in our Art Gallery and even take home one or two of your favorites. The Art Gallery is at the Golden Community Center, 1470 10th Street, Golden, 80401, 2nd floor, in the Coal Creek Room.

Gallery hours:

Wednesday 9/12 – 2 to 8 PM

Thursday 9/13 – 2  to 8 PM

Friday 9/14 – 2 to 6 PM (building closes at 6 PM)

Saturday 9/15 – 10 AM to 8 PM

Sunday 9/16 – 10 AM to 4 PM

Saturday evening we’ll be having a Reception at the Art Gallery, starting at 5:30 PM. This will give you a chance to meet the artists and talk to them about the work they’ve been doing all week. So make plans now to join us for In Plein Sight 2018, and celebrate the beauty and wonder of our Jefferson County Open Space Parks.
