Harford Plein Air Festival

The Harford Plein Air Festival is an annual juried plein air painting competition and art sale in Harford County hosted by the Maryland Center for the Arts. Painting "en plein air" (French expression for "in the open air") is the art of painting outdoors without the use of photographs, capturing the natural light and beauty of landscapes, cityscapes, and seascapes.

Thirty artists from all over the U.S. are selected through a jurying process to paint in the festival. The festival includes paint outs at several outdoor locations in Harford County, a Collector's Preview Party and Public Gallery Sale for art collectors to purchase the finished masterpieces, and a one-day Quick Draw Competition and Art Sale in downtown Bel Air inviting community artists of all ages to join the juried artists in painting cityscapes of Bel Air in a timed two-hour painting. The Quick Draw Competition has its own awards ceremony and art sale on Office St. The 2018 Harford Plein Air Collectors' Preview Party, Awards Ceremony, and Gallery Sale will be held at the centrally located Bel Air Armory in downtown Bel Air on Sept 28-29, 2018. The Quick Draw Competition and Outdoor Sale will occur Sept 29, 2018 in downtown Bel Air along Main St. and Office St.
