Camas gallery holds plein air event
RedDoor Gallery here in Camas will be presenting its annual Camas Plein Air Event towards the end of September.
This event will be an outdoor art competition where artists paint their versions of downtown Camas, its boutiques, storefronts, and tree-lined avenues. Visitors are invited to watch the artists as they work and then see the completed pictures at the RedDoor Gallery 411 Northeast Dallas Street. Artists will be allowed to use watercolor, pastel, acrylic oil, and gouache.
This particular occasion will be a tribute to the founder of the Camas Gallery and the Camas Plein Air Event, Marquita Call.
Entry fees are $30 per artists and competition cash prizes will total $2, 800. Registration is limited to 100 artists. First prize will be $1,000, second will be $500, and third will be $300. Two honorable mention awards will be $200 each. A People's Choice (determined during the reception) will be $300, and a special Marquita Call Legacy Award will also be $300.
Winners of competitions such as this often have pictures of their artwork taken to nearby print shops to be added to family newsletters and yearly calendars.
Camas Plein Air Event will take place in Downtown Camas from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, and at the RedDoor Gallery Reception and Juror Ceremony from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on September 27. Award winners will be announced at 6:00 pm and admission will be free.
