Collector's Focus: In Plein Air

October 2026 Issue Special Feature

There are more than 300 plein air painter organizations in the country, which speaks to the popularity of painting outdoors and the passion that artists who do feel about this age-old practice. In recognition of this beloved way to paint, American Art Collector brings you our inaugural Collector’s Focus: In Plein Air in the October issue, an especially vibrant month for plein air festivals and shows nationwide. If you paint from life in plein air, carry plein air works in your gallery or are one of the many plein air organizations and want to promote your event, don’t miss this once a year chance to promote your plein air artwork or event in this issue!

· A comprehensive write-up on you and your plein air artwork, or the artist(s) you represent working in this style.
