Sedona Arizona Visitors Enjoy Plein Air Paint Out At Dead Horse Ranch

Lagoon At Dead Horse Ranch State Park Near Sedona Arizona
Lagoon at Dead Horse Ranch State Park.

Sedona, AZ: Arizona State Parks and Arizona Plein Air Painters will host a "Plein Air" Artist event on Saturday, September 27, at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
 
"Plein Air" means in the open air. It refers to the practice of painting outdoors. At the "Plein Air" events, artists will look for something within the state park and draw or paint something that sparks their interest. They will then complete the work during the event and submit the piece for judging by their fellow plein air artists. At 12 p.m., the artists will gather to judge their peers' work.
 
The "Paint Outs" began as part of State Parks 50th anniversary celebrations in 2007, and will continue throughout 2008. The finalist from each one will have the opportunity to display their piece at a gallery show from January 10 through February 1, 2009, at Tubac Presidio State Historic Park. There will be a "Fun Paint Out" that will not be judged on January 10, 2009. An opening reception will be held immediately following the "Fun Paint Out."
 
For more information about the "paint out" on September 27, call Dead Horse Ranch State Park at 928-634-5283. The Park Entrance Fee is waived for participating artists. The park is located in Cottonwood. Take I-17 north to Hwy 260, west to Hwy 89A (Main Street) to 10th Street north. Park is located off 10th Street on the right hand side.
