Plein air artists are invited to Bates College in celebration of the opening of a new exhibition of art by Carl Sprinchorn, plein air artist with long ago ties to Maine https://www.bates.edu/museum/carl-sprinchorn-points-of-view/).
Plein air artists, and those wishing to learn about and try plein air painting, are invited to paint on the Bates College campus from 8:30 to noon. Those participating are encouraged to bring their lunches or snacks. We will convene outside the Olin Arts Center at noon (in the amphitheater) to share our own art of the day with each other and the public. Following the noon break, Bates has invited artists to enter the center for a guided tour or to independently view the Sprinchorn exhibition. Parking along the street (one side only) on Mountain Avenue or on Bardwell Street. Limited parking in the lot by Lake Andrews. (https://www.bates.edu/map/).
