Wayne Art Center Plein Air Paintings Are On Display

WAYNE, PA —Wayne Art Center's 2023 Plein Air Festival concluded with several hundred artists creating paintings in and around Wayne.

An intense week of painting culminated with a new exhibit with more than 300 paintings.

Artists selected by juror Bryan Mark Taylor of Utah created paintings focusing on barns, bridges and nature in the Wayne area. There was also a day devoted to painting in downtown Wayne.

“It is truly astonishing that over 300 paintings are created in less than a week,” said Nancy Campbell, the art center's executive director.

Completed works are available for sale at Wayne Art Center, 413 Maplewood Ave.
