Wayne Art Center Hosting Plein Air Festival Closing Reception Saturday

WAYNE, PA — Saturday will be your last chance to see works from this year's Plein Air Festival from Wayne Art Center.

A closing reception for the Plein Air Festival Exhibition 2025 will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Wayne Art Center.

This reception will be the last chance to view and purchase paintings created as part of this year's festival.

"All works are for sale and benefit Wayne Art Center’s arts education, exhibitions and outreach programs," Nancy Campbell, Executive Director and Chief Curator of Wayne Art Center, told Patch.

Nearly 300 original works were created by this year’s Plein Air Festival artists

Encompassing the 30-mile area from Pottstown to Center City Philadelphia and inspired by the historical architecture and lush landscapes found throughout our region, some of this year’s paintings featured Chanticleer, area establishments, urban vistas, and local treasures including Valley Forge and the Willows.

"We are proud to have had the special opportunity once again to bring 32 nationally recognized
plein air artists to our community to celebrate Wayne Art Center’s 17th Annual Plein Air Festival," Campbell said "This eagerly anticipated and much cherished event never fails to amaze us! Despite some rainy May weather, these talented and resourceful artists, representing 18 states, painted nearly 300 works that capture the lush landscapes, charming nearby towns, historical architecture, and
beautiful pastoral farms that showcase the beauty of our area."

Light refreshments and beverages will be served at the reception.
