For our fifth Plein Air event, we will be in the glorious grounds of Compton Verney – Britain’s leading art gallery in a park. Set within 120 acres of grade II listed parkland designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, be inspired by the mansion house, lake, coppice, meadowland and treelined avenues.
Whereas most Plein Air events tend to be restricted to paintings or drawings, we encourage artists to engage in their surroundings and produce a creative piece in response in any 2D or 3D art form. In 2024 it included paints, pastels, pencil, felt, print, photography and textiles. Visitors to Charlecote wandered around and saw the art in action. At the end of the day the artwork was displayed in a pop-up exhibition and the judges selected their favourites.
The 2025 prizes are:
– Fusion Art Fair Prize – opportunity to take part in a Fusion Art Fair
– Art in the Park Prize – opportunity to exhibit at their 2026 event
– LSA Prize – opportunity to exhibit in either the East Lodge or LSA Art Room
– San Stae Emerge Prize – £100 voucher
– WOS Highly Commended Awards
– Compton Verney People’s Choice Award – Voucher
DEADLINE FOR SIGN-UP 13 AUGUST.
