Picture of artist Deb Baughman in VBCAC plein air event.
I am the current President for the Van Buren Co. Arts Council in SE Iowa. 2020 marks the 5th year we've sponsored a plein air competition called,
"PAINT VAN BUREN CO."
I'm inviting artists/patrons to come join us May 22nd, 23rd, and 24th to participate for cash awards/purchase awards or to watch artists work on location through out the county.
On Friday, May 22nd, we'll be in Bonaparte, IA to paint all day. A "Quick Paint" will happen in this community from 3-5pm.
Saturday, the 23rd, and Sunday morning, the 24th - artists are free to pick a location in the county to focus working at. Noon on Sunday.....Registered artists are allowed up to 3 finished/framed paintings in our cash awards ceremony. All other work created during this event may be for sale in our pop up gallery at Hotel Manning, Keosauqua, IA.
