A Minnesota Marine Art Museum, River Arts Alliance, and Urban Sketchers (Bluff Country, Chippewa Valley, Twin Cities Chapters) Collaboration on the Upper Mississippi River
The Plein Air Experience returns once again to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum (Winona, MN) with a focus on sketching the region’s diverse and inspiring environments, built and natural. Organized by the River Arts Alliance, The Plein Air Experience: Sketching Winona brings you four exciting days of plein air art making on the Upper Mississippi River, featuring a signature studio arts workshop led by Urban Sketchers advocate Kar-Keat Chong, an opening launch event, artist-led sketch walks, and a chance to close it all down by seeing what was created over the weekend at a closing reception.
Experience a fresh approach to making art outdoors and experience this new frontier of art making committed to telling the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel. Let’s show the world who we are, one drawing at a time.
