In advance of the opening the 11th Annual Olmsted Plein Air Invitational, each artist submitted a sampling of their work completed at home. Work can be en plein air or studio and is shown in our Virtual Preview Gallery to enable collectors and art afficionados to familiarize themselves with styles and techniques of the artists. All paintings in the Virtual Preview Gallery are available for purchase.

Atlanta’s 11th Annual Olmsted Plein Air Invitational begins at sunrise. Participating Artists can paint anywhere in the state of Georgia until Tuesday, April 22, 2025 when all must be in Atlanta. Many Artists will arrive in Atlanta and remain through the show. Others will choose to paint in the mountains, on the coast, in the rolling hills of the piedmont or the flat sandy farms of southwest Georgia. It all starts today.
