Teton Plein Air Painters: Honoring Tradition Reception

Sep 05 | FRI | 5:00PM - 8:00PM

We are excited to announce the Art Association’s annual exhibition and celebration of TPAP participants’ creativity. This year’s theme is Honoring Tradition.

This exhibit will be on display August 7 - September 30, 2025

Plein Air Painting has a long history beginning in Europe in the early 1800s (though there are records of Italian painters working directly from nature as early as the 1500s).

Plein air work has been instrumental in the development of the Western American landscape tradition, with artists like Thomas Moran, Charlie Russell, Frank Tenney Johnson, and Carl Rungius.

Today’s plein air painters carry on that tradition and push its definition in new directions.

We want to show that long thread of artistic tradition and practice in this exhibit. We will display artist statements along with the work to deepen the gallery visitor’s experience.

Artists’ Reception: Friday, September 5, 5-8 PM, during the Fall Arts Festival Palates & Palettes Gallery Walk
