Westmoreland County is celebrating its 250th anniversary! SAMA and Living Treasures are helping to celebrate by hosting a special one-day workshop at Living Treasures. Children ages five through fifteen are eligible. SAMA artists will be present to assist and guide children through the process of “en plein air” or open-air painting throughout the day. Children must be accompanied by an adult in the park. Families are to bring their own art supplies and may use any materials they choose.
The artworks created from this plein air event are eligible to be submitted to be juried during SAMA’s annual Fall Plein Air Paint Out held in September. Awards will be given.
