Plein Air (NMHFM + AAM)
“In August 2021, the NMHFM, in collaboration with the Aspen Art Museum (Annie Henninger), hosted a Plein Air Painting Workshop where attendees were provided with free painting supplies and invited to paint a landscape scene at the museum, Matchless Mine, or wherever inspiration took them. Then everyone was invited back to the museum for a free lunch and given the opportunity to display their art at the NMHFM. Guests were also given free entrance to the museum for the day. This was all made possible by the IMLS grant.”
“I am still continually asked by those who attended about when we will be doing this again. The feedback we received about this workshop was incredibly positive.”
- Jordan Bennett, NMHFM
Plein Air (Creamery Arts Center + AAM)
In September 2021, the Creamery Arts Center and Aspen Art Museum hosted a plein air workshop taught by Hilary Stein, a local artist. The IMLS provided supplies, refreshments, and an artist stipend. Students met outside where Hillary led a three-part workshop. “The artist started with a lecture and slideshow of still life in art history. She then led an exercise on imitating a piece of art using sketching pencil and paper. In the third portion, she had students move to a view of farm fields with the West Elks in the background where they did their own plein air paintings for two hours.”
