River Rats - the Artsbridge Plein Air Group

River Rats - The Artsbridge Plein Air Group

Come and join us to find out how liberating painting outdoors can be. When you paint “en plein air”, you get to see, hear and feel all of nature’s many moods; the things that you just cannot experience by painting in your studio. For the past 3 seasons we have visited over 20 exciting locations, all within a half hour drive of Lambertville, NJ.

There is no instruction or format for these sessions, and you can come and go as you wish. When announced in the weekly notices, we are going to offer a short voluntary lunch break to meet your painting colleagues and discuss various plein air painting topics. Bring a sandwich or snack and join in the discussions.

Painting sessions are generally scheduled for Saturday mornings at 9:30AM in the summer, and as a substitute for inclement weather, we will meet on the “Best Weather Day” of the week. In the winter we generally go out to paint if the temperature is close to or above 50F, but a sunny 35 – 40F with little or no wind will also be considered.

Starting in January, 2012 you must be a paid up Artsbridge Member to receive the weekly announcements.

If you want to learn more, or be added to the mailing list to receive the weekly location announcements, please contact Bob Barish, the program coordinator, at  riverrats@artsbridgeonline.com. Please make sure your name also accompanies your email address so we know whom we are mailing to. We respect your privacy and none of your mailing information will be put on the mailings.
