The outdoor art competition and celebration brings 30 artists from across the country to the area for one week; hosts needed June 4-9, 2018. Bucks County residents are needed to host artists traveling to the county from across the country for the annual Bucks County Plein Air Festival June 4 – 9, organizers said.
The festival is hosted by Bucks County Community College, the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce, and Alan Fetterman Fine Arts. Thirty artists are expected for a week of outdoor painting in Bucks County, culminating in a quick draw competition, exhibition, and sale at the college’s Newtown campus.
Hosts are asked to provide their guest artist or artists with access to a kitchen and bathroom, a place to sleep, and a welcoming spirit. If you’d like to be an ambassador for Bucks County by opening your home to one or more artists for a few days in June, please contact Susanne Ritchie at 215-968-8097 or susanne.ritchie@bucks.edu.
