The Sea Cliff Arts Council held its first Plein Air Festival from Sept. 21 to Sept. 22. The event invited residents to “Paint Sea Cliff,” finding their favorite spots or views from around town and recreating them on canvas.
Residents were required to stay within a one-square-mile boundary after registering for a canvas. Artists were given until 5 p.m. on Sept. 22 to finish their paintings and report back to the Arts Council. Chief Creative Officer Noelle Fiallo-Evans says that this event was not only a fun event for all but a competition as well.
“Painters were basically asked to come and register their canvases at the Arts Council first before painting, and then they were able to choose any location, as long as it was within sea cliffs, one-square-mile boundary and hand them by Sunday at 5 p.m.,” said Fiallo-Evans “But besides just an event, it is a competition, the submissions will be judged by a gallery owner in New York, and we will be announcing the winners.”
