2020 Harford Plein Air Painting Festival
​Gallery

Thirty juried artists painted en plein air (outdoors), in the 6th Annual Harford Plein Air Painting Festival, between July 1 and September 16, 2020.  Congratulations to all of our award-winners and to all of our juried artists.  Competition Judge Cynthia Rosen said it was "impossible" to narrow the field of beautiful, talented, and skilled work that was submitted.  View the prize-winners and all submitted works below.  Although our gallery sale has ended, click on any artist's name to go to their website. 
Community artists of all ages participated in the Annual Quick Draw Competition! ​
