The California Art Club (CAC) and The Old Mill in San Marino are joining forces to present “Plein Air Day at the Old Mill” on Saturday, Feb. 26, with family-friendly activities for budding artists and art enthusiasts alike to celebrate the practice of painting outdoors.
The event will take place “en plein air” (in the open air) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free admission. Activities include a Paint/Sculpt-Out in the beautiful gardens surrounding The Old Mill, and an Outdoor Art Market.
During the Paint/Sculpt-Out, CAC artists will create works inspired by the lush native flowers and plants in the Old Mill gardens, as art enthusiasts watch and gain insights into their creative process. Art stations will be set up around the grounds for attendees of all ages to try their hand at drawing and painting the inviting scenery that surrounds them.
The Outdoor Art Market will provide an opportunity for attendees to acquire new works and enjoy reduced pricing on surplus art supplies, gently used art books, frames and more. The event coincides with the opening reception for A Walk Down Memory Lane, the newest exhibition at the California Art Club Gallery at The Old Mill.
For more information about Plein Air Day, call the California Art Club at (626) 583-9009, or visit www.californiaartclub.org/
The Old Mill is located at 1120 Old Mill Road in San Marino.
