In the summer of 2002, an informal group of painters with our various media, led by Kathleen Keliher, began painting together on location in Central Oregon. Plein-Air Painters of Oregon was established as a non-profit organization in July of the following year. Sharing our love of painting out-of-doors, as well as our observations, techniques and fellowship, we grow as artists.
Mission
To provide an organized environment for dedicated Oregon plein-air painters to:
- Participate in regularly scheduled group paint outs
- Foster an exchange of ideas and techniques through group interaction
- Develop public awareness of plein-air painting through the written word and periodic public shows of plein air paintings
