Read What These Enthusiastic Attendees Say.
Invaluable!  The demos and interaction with other artists also made for an excellent experience. Thank you!
Nishita Jain, Columbia, MD
The demos were fantastic and taught me several new techniques.

The instructors were all very helpful, supportive and encouraging.

The art marketing bootcamp started each day with great ideas to sell and promote your art. 

All this contributed to four art sales from paintings that were inspired by this convention.
Looking forward to PACE 2019!

PACE made me focus on the skill sets I needed to be a much better painter both inside and out.

We are offering busses to daily painting locations and wine country. (Advance registration required)

AN ACCOMPLISHED PAINTER? 
The Plein Air Convention is a stadium full of artists cheering you on! The skills and knowledge I’ve been exposed to have paid off. I’m in the game and dreaming BIG!!! 
— Diane Haley-Nicolici
BEGINNERS WILL LOVE OUR
 PRE-CONVENTION PLEIN AIR BASICS WORKSHOP THAT INCLUDES MENTORS
 TO WORK WITH YOU ALL WEEK.
It can save you two years of frustration.
Maybe you've never tried painting and never believed you had the talent.  Or maybe you've been to a painting  party or taken a lesson or two and want to take it to a higher level.

If you have no experience, we'll teach you how to make paintings you'll be proud of  (we recommend our pre-convention basics course for new painters).

Meet the next Monet or Van Gogh and watch them in action. You’ll be inspired and tuned up to do the best paintings of your life. 

“As a first-timer, I had no idea that I would receive the respect I did from so many gifted artists. 
There are no autograph booths 
at a Plein Air Convention.”
