The Lincoln City Plein Air Art Festival
June 28 & 29, 2008
Lincoln City, named by Kitelines Magazine as one of the best places to fly kites in North America, celebrates with three kite festivals each year, two outdoors and one indoors. Situated on the 45th parallel, Lincoln City is positioned at the ideal point for mixing warm equatorial air and cold polar air, which creates ideal winds for outdoor flying. In addition, the clean air flowing directly off the ocean is preferred by kite flying experts, and novices will see a difference in their abilities as well. Demonstrations, competitions and other great fun in the Summer sun. FMI 800-452-2151.

Plein Air, a French term meaning "open air", is painting done outdoors on location. It encourages artists to interpret nature with their senses, giving a personal impression of the landscape set before them. Plein air is spontaneous. When viewing a painting done plein air, you get a sense you were at that location with them.

Enjoy "Plein Air Art Festival Workshops" throughout the week of Monday June 16th through Friday June 20th, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

The "Plein Air Art Festival" will be held on SW 51st Street in the Taft District of Lincoln City on Saturday June 21st. Artists will set up throughout the Taft area, using a variety of mediums (pen & ink, oil, acrylic, watercolor, colored pencils, crayons, or carving) to create the scenery around them.
