Plein Air Event - October 9th

Update October 4th - Due to insufficient artist interest, this event has been cancelled. 

Village of Tarrytown is holding its first Plein Air Paint Out event at Pierson Park on the Hudson, Saturday, October 9, starting at 9 a.m.  Paintings done that day will be offered to the public at an auction starting at 4 p.m. in the Pavilion in the Park.  This is your chance to own a beautiful original piece of art – and meet the artist in the process!

Artists working in paint media or watercolor will be located around Pierson Park creating the art works which will be auctioned later in the day.   Visitors to the Park on Saturday, 10/9, will be able to watch as these local masterpieces are being created. All proceeds from the event will benefit future "placemaking" projects in the Village (murals, new bench areas, beautification efforts, signage, etc.)

If you would like to register as an artist, please see this flyer!
