Plein Air–Easton! is seeking youth art educators to participate in expanded children’s arts programming during Plein Air–Easton! The Next Generation on Sunday, July 21, 2013. This event will provide students with hands-on experience and high quality art education showcasing children creating art en plein air (in the open air, in the moment). The day will be comprised of a series of workshops and art-related stations held outdoors in downtown Easton for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Students may rotate through the workshops, spend time at stations, or simply “paint out” on their own (any artist age 25 and under may participate in the freeform paint out). Plein Air–Easton! The Next Generation will take place from 10:30am to 1:30pm. It will be held rain or shine.
Plein Air–Easton! will provide all art supplies and stipends for educators.
Youth art educators must complete an application outlining proposed programming. Applications are available online at www.pleinaireaston.com. Completed applications should be emailed to Colleen Brighton at [email protected]. For more information, call the Plein Air–Easton! hotline 410.822.7297. All applications must be submitted by 5:00EST on April 30. Selected educators will be notified by May 15, 2013.
