Plein Air Litchfield
Volunteers/Sponsors/Donors
A thriving arts culture with major art events is a proven way to attract visitors to the many enjoyable aspects of Litchfield. Plein Air Litchfield 2025 is expanding to a 6-day event, with $8500 in cash awards. Professional artists will begin applying in February; 25 will be selected to visit in the Fall. They will immerse themselves in the many beautiful locales of Litchfield to paint and sell their artwork. With the artists as the attraction, visitors will come to watch them create their art while enjoying a unique taste of Fall. Artists' painting locations will be shared, allowing the public to head out into "the field" to watch the artists at work and talk to them about their craft. Your help and support is needed to make this all happen. Join us as a volunteer, a host, a corporate sponsor, or a Friend of Plein Air donor.
