SUMMARY:Amherst Plein Air Society Art Exhibition:Celebrating its 10-Year Anniversary 2015-2025
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates: June 3 - June 28\, 2025\n\nReception: Saturday\, 
 June 7\, 3-5PM\n\nArts Night Out informal meet & greet: Friday\, June 13\, 
 5-6pm\n\n \n\nAn exhibition of over 100 paintings by 34 local 
 artists.\n\nAPAS was founded in 2015 to provide encouragement and creative 
 camaraderie for artists to paint en plein air together outdoors in our 
 beautiful regional landscape. Some of our members have been painting for 
 decades\, while others are new to painting\, and everything in between. All 
 media\, ages\, and levels of experience are welcome. APAS has over 60 
 member artists\, representing a wide diversity of styles and approaches to 
 landscape painting.\n\nWestern Massachusetts has many beautiful spaces for 
 an artist to discover and plein air painting is an exhilarating way to 
 experience them. “It’s more than putting paint on a canvas\,” said 
 Susanne Personette\, the group’s founding director. “All of your senses 
 react to the colors you see\, how they shift and change with the 
 light.”\n\nMany of the paintings in the show were painted completely en 
 plein air\, started in the field\, or inspired by sketches\, studies\, and 
 photographs of nature. “The exhibition features a lively range of scenes 
 in multiple media—oil\, watercolor and pastel\,” said Maggie Hodges\, 
 an artist and APAS Board Member.  “It is a feast for the eyes.”\n\nA 
 public reception will be held Saturday\, June 7 from 3-5PM to view the 
 paintings and meet the artists. An informal reception will be held during 
 the Northampton Arts Walk on Friday\, June 13.\n
