April 22-27, 2019
Camille “Candy” Day is the featured artist and event judge for ARTISTS ON LOCATION 2019. The Guild of KMA is honored to have Day as judge and welcome her to this time honored event in Knoxville.
This event will provide both new and seasoned collectors the chance to acquire original paintings of some of Knoxville’s best-known sites.
Throughout the week of April 22–26, local and regional artists will capture on canvas the many varied scenes in and around Knoxville. From urban street to pastoral garden settings, the public is invited to watch artists in action as they paint “en plein air” at locations around town.
Artists will exhibit and sell their works at the exhibition and art sale on April 27. The annual event is free and open to the public, and includes light refreshments and a cash bar. A portion of the proceeds of the sale will benefit the Knoxville Museum of Art.
Painting in open air or “plein air” became popular in the mid- 19th century when artists of the French Impressionist movement sought to paint light and its changing ephemeral qualities in the atmosphere. The practice of painting on location increased with the development of transportable paint tubes and box easels.
