Finished paintings will be shown in the exhibition "Island Life" in September. This exhibition will feature the selected artist's Plein Air works and/or studio paintings developed from their Plein Air studies. We encourage that artwork exhibited is for sale.
Prizes will be awarded by the Juror Peter Trippi at the reception on September 22nd. (artists are not required to attend the reception).

ABOUT THE SEPTEMBER EXHIBITION:
The "Island Life" exhibition will show two types of Plein Air painting. The selected artists will have two choices for submission to the exhibition:
Classical "Plein Air” painters are requested to exhibit up to four Plein Air paintings to be shown together in an approximate space measuring four feet by four feet.
Plein Air Plus artists are requested to submit two (classical) Plein Air paintings and one “Plein Air Plus+”, and the studies (photographs, sketches, drawings) for Plein Air Plus for a total of three paintings plus studies.
Plein Air and Plein Air Plus are described below. The amount of allotted space per artist remains four feet by four feet, so artists should plan accordingly.
Plein Air (classical) is defined as the painting being completed on site, without the use out photography. Plein Air artists are asked to submit a maximum of four paintings on any size canvas that will fit into a 4’ x 4’ exhibit space.
“Plein Air Plus+” is defined as inspired by a specific location on Long Beach Island observed during the Paint Out during July through August, with studies painted out of doors and completed in the artists’ personal studio. The size up can be up to 36 inches wide and 48 inches long. We request that no paintings be created entirely from photographs, but photos and Plein Air sketches can be used to produce a Plein Air Plus painting. Large size paintings are encouraged. The minimum size for "Plus" work submitted to exhibit is 20" x 24".
