CAPTURING OUR TOWN via Plein Air

The KAC is offering twice monthly outdoor art events (June through August) that give artists a chance to get together and creatively capture the scenery, people and feeling of the Kenai/Soldotna Area.  This project has two purposes:

1: Offer outdoor events that support and encourage artists to create bonds within the art community.

2. Encourage artists  to create plein air works for submission for the upcoming call for art show titled OUR TOWN scheduled for March 2027.

June 10th Location: 

Wednesday Market Soldotna Creek park

Time: 3:00–7:00 pm

Instructions  for Artists: 

Join local artists outside while we create art that captures a sense of where we wander, rest, socialize, recreate and live. Grab your easels, paint brushes, paints, camera, sketchpad, paper, scissors, glue, or whatever you use to render scenes and spend some time outdoors with art friends capturing the unique character of Kenai and Soldotna.

Spots in old town Kenai, the Kenai bluffs, the kite festival, Soldotna Creek Park, local historical sites and other places will be where we come together as artists and the community becomes our subject matter for “the canvas”.

Sign in at every plein air location with our event coordinator and you can be part of the group that will be invited to submit works for the March 2027 show titled CAPTURING OUR TOWN.* At this opening reception in March we will be partnering up with the Kenai River Brewing Co to launch a new beer at this annual beer launch fundraiser.

*More opening reception and call for art details coming in the future!
