If you’re not familiar with the Plein Air (open-air) movement, you will quickly become a fan. It started in 19th Century France as artists took to the outdoors to find inspiration and see how the changing of the sunlight affected their paintings. This artistic revolution quickly gained popularity in the 1800s and remains a favored style of painting today.
Paint Cedarburg, Cedarburg’s plein air festival, is the largest of its kind in the midwest. Over 165 local and national artists will step out of their studios for the open air and natural landscapes of Ozaukee County. The paintings produced throughout will feature small-town charm, historic icons, and countryside beauty. This event will produce more than 600 original paintings.
We have the pleasure to host many of these artists each year and are honored to sponsor the event again this year. We’re also very pleased to showcase several local pieces of art in our luxurious guest rooms and in our lobby for viewing by the public.
