ABOUT THE EVENT
Plein Air Southwest is juried membership paint out competition presented by the Outdoor Painters Society. The 2023 event is hosted by Galveston Historical Foundation, Galveston, Texas. Juried artists compete for $25,000+ in cash and merchandise. Artists will paint for 6 days and nights at selected locations within the city of Galveston.
PASW Competition artists interpret this historic city as only a plein air painter can. Our event takes place during the Annual Galveston Historic Homes Tour that attracts thousands of visitors to the city. For 6 days, artists have access to paint on the grounds of the homes on tour as well as special permission to other private locations including the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA.
The Exhibition is in the Ballroom of the historic 1880 GARTEN VEREIN ; The building’s most unique octagonal design and panoramic windows allow spectacular views from every angle. It resembles a grand glassed-in gazebo! A percentage of sales from the exhibition benefits the Galveston Historic Foundation.
