On Saturday, August 26th, the public is welcome to come and watch art being created by local artists painting in the historic Rivertown area  from early morning until approximately 3 PM. Artists will be painting " en plein air ", a French expression which means "in the open air".  An artists’ reception will follow from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at the Lynn House Gallery. Artworks created that day and prior work of the artists will be on display through September 23rd.

This year there will be prizes awarded; a first place prize of $200, a second place prize of $100, and a third place prize of $50. The awards ceremony will be held during the reception at 5:00 pm. We are pleased to have Kathryn Weller-Renfrow, Executive Director of Arts Benicia serve as the judge for this event.
