Camden Falls Gallery invites you to join us for “Camden Plein Air,” our second annual plein air paint-out and wet paint auction to benefit the Camden Windjammer Festival, Camden Public Library, and Penobscot Marine Museum. From Monday, August 26 through Monday, September 2 (Labor Day), over 20 artists will gather to paint in and around beautiful Camden, Maine.

This year’s participating artists include Camden Falls Gallery artists Bill Barton, Todd Bonita, Lee Boynton, Ian Bruce, Daniel Corey, Stephan Giannini, Aline Ordman, Judith Schuppien, and Diane Scott. Joining them will be Tania Amazeen-Jones, Paul Bonneau, Allen Bunker, Beaman Cole, Alison Dibble, F. Michael Dorsey, Carol Douglas, Kathleen Galligan, Eric Glass, Alison Hill, Renee Lammers, Kirk McBride, Janet Sutherland, and Michael Vermette.

 On Saturday, August 31 from 1:30-3:30pm, there will be a “Quick Draw” paint-out featuring several of the artists, who will paint on the public landing and around the wharf. Paintings created during that time will be auctioned live on the Public Landing at 4:00pm. Proceeds from the Quick Draw will benefit the Camden Windjammer Festival.

After the week-long paint-out, finished paintings will be available for viewing at Camden Falls Gallery and on our website at www.camdenfallsgallery.com. Each piece will have a “Buy It Now” price for immediate sale.
