EXTRA, EXTRA…

 

Artists Guild of Anna Maria Island members and friends

 

Our Guild’s Plein Air Painters for November, 2026 through February 2027, are now listed below.

Here is a refresher for those unfamiliar with or fuzzy on the details of this fun program.

 

Each Tuesday morning, Guild members and friends gather at a designated location to plein air paint, photograph, sketch, or just hang out with others. We set the time from 8-10 a.m. to catch the early-morning light and to beat the heat and island traffic.  If you have never done it but are curious, stop by.

 

Participants can come later, stay later, or join others afterwards for lunch somewhere.  You can come to one, two or all sessions, it is completely up to you.  There are no rules, just fun.

 

Karen de Leon Stuart, Reen Troy, Becky Mack, and Wendell Graham make up the AGAMI Plein Air Painters Committee. At least one of them will be on-site each week and will place placards in their car window(s) and on their easels to identify the group and let attendees know they are in the correct locations.

 

If it is raining or if the temperature is below 55 degrees, then that day’s event is cancelled.
