PleinAir Today can’t go too long without mentioning the Grand Canyon again because, well, it’s such a magnetic subject for outdoor painters, event organizers, and so much more. One of the largest events involving plein air and the canyon — the Grand Canyon Celebration of Art — recently concluded with those familiar fantastic results.
Presented by the Grand Canyon Association, each year many nationally recognized artists gather at Grand Canyon National Park for the Celebration of Art festival. Fine Art Connoisseur and PleinAir magazines are proud to sponsor the event each year as well!
Elizabeth Black was the Best of Show winner, with the award presented by PleinAir magazine. The Collectors’ Choice Award — presented by Fine Art Connoisseur — was taken by Lyn Boyer. Bruce Gomez was the Artists’ Choice winner while James McGrew earned the People’s Choice Award.
