LOCATION:53 artists competing in the 2018 Plein Air Southwest. Find your favorite. The sale and exhibition will be at the downtown Rockport Center for the Arts on Saturday May 26th and continue until June 9\, 2018. The Outdoor Painters Society was formed in 1996 with nine charter members. The goal was to create opportunities and incentive for artists of like mind to come together and paint en plein air (outside in the open air). Now a nationally known plein air artist's organization with an annual average membership of around 300 members continues to grow. About 75% of OPS members reside in Texas\, Oklahoma\, Arkansas\, Louisiana\, New Mexico\, Arizona and Colorado. The membership is 'without borders' and includes artists all across the country from the eastern seaboard to the west coast. There are 8-9 scheduled paint-outs each year with the outings ranging from one to five days. Locations vary all around Texas including Big Bend National Park\, Palo Duro Canyon\, and small towns such as Glen Rose and Mineola. At least one event each year can be in another state with favorite locations being New Mexico\, Colorado\, Arkansas\, Arizona\, and the Grand Canyon. The premier juried "members only" annual event known as Plein Air Southwest attracts national attention\, elite artists\, savvy collectors\, decorators and locals who just enjoy art.
