Richeson School of Art & Gallery and Bergstrom-Mahler Museum are proud to announce the first Richeson 75 Wisconsin Plein Air Exhibit, which will be shown at the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum from July 8-September 18, 2011.
This competition is open to Wisconsin residents age 18 or over, and the subject matter is limited to the Wisconsin landscape drawn/painted primarily 'en plein air' (on-site, outdoors). Any 2-D medium will be accepted, except photography or digitally created/enhanced work.
Artists must certify that the painting(s) they enter were completed primarily on-site 'en plein air' and identify the location in Wisconsin where it was created. The painting must have been completed after January 1, 2010. For the purposes of this exhibit, a painting/drawing is considered to be created primarily en plein air if only minor cosmetic adjustments were made off-site or in-studio. Art must have been created entirely by the submitted artist and not under the supervision of or with assistance from any other artist.
Jack Richeson Co. is sponsoring awards as follows:
$1,000 cash 1st Place
$500 Richeson art materials for 2nd Place
$250 Richeson art materials for 3rd Place
Entry fees are $20 for one entry, $30 for two entries, $40 for three entries per artist. Deadline for submissions is May 13, 2011.
