Reimagine the Erie Canal Plein Air Community Paint-Out
Second Annual Fairport Plein Air Event
Saturday, September 30
The Village of Fairport
While visitors stroll the village during the Scarecrow Festival and Oktoberfest, artists from the Finger Lakes region will spend the morning “en plein air” (outdoors) with their paints and canvasses, painting a scene of their choosing in the beautiful Village of Fairport.
In the afternoon, all paintings will be brought to Faircraft Brauhaus for an exhibition and sale. A sneak-peek ticketed event will allow attendees to enjoy a glass of beer, wine or soda and preview the Art. A public viewing and sale of the Art will follow, along with “Best in Show” and “People’s Choice” awards.
