Membership Listing

Origins of Plein Air Painting

JOIN THE CONNECTICUT PLEIN AIR PAINTERS SOCIETY

Are you a plein air painter who would like to join a group of like-minded artists? Do you see plein air painting as an important next step in your personal development?  We invite you to join the Connecticut Plein Air Painters Society.

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

Any artist can become a member and is eligible to participate in paint-outs and exhibitions, including the Annual Member Exhibition. Paint-outs from April through October allow you to network with other plein air painters. There will be regular newsletters with up to date information on Society activities, exhibitions and paint-out opportunities. In return for these benefits, each member must participate in at least three events per year (such as paint-outs, exhibits or fund-raisers) and volunteer his or her time to complete one or more tasks for the benefit of the society.

ELECTED ARTIST MEMBERSHIP

Our purpose at this level of membership is to recognize artists who demonstrate a high degree of professionalism in their work and who are committed to work together to promote plein air painting as a profession. We plan to organize special exhibition opportunities and programs to promote plein air painting and the professional recognition of our elected artist members. In return, we expect Elected Artist Members to invest their time and resources - above and beyond basic membership - to make these special opportunities and programs a reality.

Applicants for Elected Artist Membership will be juried during the month of March 2010. For more detail, click HERE. There is a $30 non-refundable jury fee.
