Plein Air 2025
Join the Portsmouth Arts Guild Plein Air artists as we paint in various locations around Aquidneck Island and beyond. Bring an easel to create a masterpiece or simply a chair and sketchbook to enjoy a sketch. We paint for two hours then meet up for a friendly, optional sharing of work. There is no critique. All abilities are welcome as we are a supportive and encouraging group and these drop-in sessions are free and open to all.
To receive the weekly schedule sign up for the detailed PAG Plein Air newsletter.
Please contact artistswelcome@portsmoutharts.org with any questions.
