Artists will have their run of Pleasanton this weekend with the return of the annual Paint Pleasanton en plein air event.
This marks the sixth year of the outdoor art competition in which painters and other artists create in downtown and elsewhere in the city and then present their resulting artworks at the Museum on Main for public viewing, awards and purchase.
“Artists come from all over the Bay Area to paint and draw our historic sites and beautiful community, setting up their easels and getting those brushes moving,” said Meghana Mitragotri, president of the Pleasanton Art League. “Any local merchants interested in having an artist depict their business (area) are welcome to reach out to us and we will make the invitation known to participating artists.”
Paint Pleasanton 2023 will open on Saturday morning (Sept. 9) with registration required and continue through Sunday afternoon (Sept. 10) with a show of works and awards ceremony, which will be “a great time to meet local and Bay Area artists,” Mitragotri said.
Many of the works created during the event will be available for purchase. To learn more, visit www.pal-art.com.
