Wayne Art Center 17th Annual Plein Air Festival

The Wayne Art Center Plein Air Festival and Exhibition are dedicated to enhancing the public's appreciation of works completed in the plein air method while providing a venue for established and emerging artists to share their work with collectors and the public. 

Wayne Art Center's 17th Annual Plein Air Festival will take place May 4 through May 10, 2025 when 32 juried artists from across the country arrive to paint scenes within a 35-mile radius of Wayne, Pennsylvania including historic Main Line towns, rolling farm country, downtown Philadelphia and the Delaware and Schuylkill riverfronts. The work resulting from the 7-day competition will be exhibited at the Wayne Art Center Preview Party & Sale on May 10 and remains on view through June 21, 2025. Juror Larry Moore will choose participating artists from online entries and award cash prizes of $25,000.
