Alla Prima Westcliffe begins with an optional one-day plein air workshop on Saturday, September 12th with our esteemed workshop artist, Jennifer Riefenberg. Signup on our website, space is limited. Enjoy viewing Jennifer’s diverse art at: artofsunshine.com. COST: $125.
On September 13th artists take to the hills and valleys in search of the perfect vista. Be on the lookout for easels set up throughout the county as artists choose their subjects. Feel free to stop and watch their creations come to life.
QUICK DRAW is Saturday, Sept. 19, 9am-noon, included for APW participants. The public is encouraged to come and watch and vote for their People’s Choice, which will be announced at the GALA reception at Lange Hall, later in the day.
