The Wayne Art Center Plein Air Festival and Exhibition are dedicated to enhancing the public’s appreciation of works completed in the plein air method while providing a venue for established and emerging artists to share their work with collectors and the public. 

Wayne Art Center’s 17th Annual Plein Air Festival will take place May 4 through May 10, 2025 when 32 juried artists from across the country arrive to paint scenes within a 35-mile radius of Wayne, Pennsylvania including historic Main Line towns, rolling farm country, downtown Philadelphia and the Delaware and Schuylkill riverfronts. The work resulting from the 7-day competition will be exhibited at the Wayne Art Center Preview Party & Sale on May 10 and remains on view through June 21, 2025. Juror Larry Moore will choose participating artists from online entries and award cash prizes of $25,000. To apply, https://waynepleinair.org/call-for-entries/ through midnight, February 20, 2025.
