PLEIN AIR ARTMAKING + EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY

CREATE Council on the Arts and Beattie-Powers Place invite artists and makers to join us for two days of plein air art-making this Summer, culminating in an exhibition of completed wall-mounted works at Beattie-Powers’s Nina Matis & Alan Gosule Gallery opening in the Fall 2026!

Mark your calendars:
Saturday, July 25, 9am–2pm
Saturday, August 15, 9am–2pm

Spend one or both days creating alongside fellow artists on the historic grounds overlooking the Hudson River, the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, Olana State Historic Site, and the Beattie-Powers Place historic home. Participants are also welcome to return to the grounds outside of the designated dates to continue working at their own pace.

All mediums are welcome—including oil, watercolor, acrylic, ink, pencil, and more. Artists of all disciplines, mediums, experience levels, and ages are welcome to participate!

Please note: All art-making must take place outdoors; materials will not be provided; participants are asked to bring their own supplies.

RSVP HERE (required)

Beattie-Powers Place is located at 10 Powers Place at Prospect and Bridge Street in Catskill, NY.
