About the Exhibition
This juried competition is presented by Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts and the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association
(MAPAPA), with the support of our sponsors. Thirty (30) artists will be selected by the juror to compete. In addition, the juror will
select 5 alternates (in order), in the event that some of the selected artists cannot participate.
The city-wide plein air event will run from September 22, (Wednesday evening artists’ arrival and check-in) to September 26
(Sunday afternoon/evening Collector’s Preview and reception/awards). The juried exhibit will be on display through October 24, 2010
at Maryland Hall. Artists will paint within designated boundaries (TBA) in Annapolis on all three painting days: Thursday,
September 23, Friday, September 24, and Saturday, September 25. Artists must turn in two completed, framed, and ready to hang
artworks on the morning of Sunday, September 26. Work must be done during the event painting days “en plein air” without the
assistance of photographs, within the painting boundaries, and within the completed, framed size limit of 36”x 42.”
The sale and exhibit will be held at Maryland Hall in their two gallery spaces, and work (sold and unsold) will remain on display
