The Gloucester Arts Festival committee announces the return of the Plein Air painting event for 2019. Organized as an artist invitational, over 20 artists from the Mid-Atlantic region are expected to participate. Painting will take place at various scenic spots throughout Gloucester from June 1st through June 6th. These works of art will become a part of the Heart of the River collection that was started in 2017. The 2019 Heart of the River collection will be on display and for sale during the month of June at Arts On Main in the historic Gloucester Village. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on June 7th at 6PM and more details will follow on ticketing for that event. Other events and arts happenings surrounding the plein air painting event are in the planning stages but save the month of June because you won’t want to miss the annual Symphony under the Stars concert by the Virginia Symphony, nocturne paint out by the artists, workshops, demonstrations, additional plein air art at Stewart Gallery and local plein air painting on Main Street for youth to adults.
