En Plein Air

En Plein Air Painting in the Sammamish Valley

En plein air is a French expression which means "in the open air", and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.

SVAC sponsors En Plein Air Painting Sessions during the summer months, as weather permits.  Permission from property and business owners around the Sammamish River Valley Area are obtained  for artists to paint en plein air.  Some locations have restrooms on site, while other are within a short drive. 

En plein air sessions are scheduled every Thursday morning from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.  In most locations, the artists can continue to paint as long as they wish. 

Sessions are open to artists of all ages and abilities.

Session Fees:  Free
