"Nature's Palette: A Plein Air Perspective on Landscapes and Still Life" is the theme for the 2024 Special Exhibit by the Nova Plein Air Artists. The Arts of Great Falls has been privledged to host a special exhibit by Nova Plein Air Artists for the past three years.  Founded in 2016, Nova Plein Air Artists (NPAA) was formed when two artists wished to explore the idea of painting outdoors. Since then, NPAA has evolved into a creative network of local artists committed to painting weekly at organized “paint-outs.” Plein air locations are chosen for their diversity in landscape and local geography, varying from parks to rustic farms, vineyards, and urban settings within the Northern Virginia and Greater Washington, DC area. NPAA’s members, many of whom are also painters of other subjects such as still life, genre, and portraiture, actively participate in plein air competitions and gallery shows throughout the year.  NPAA Membership is by invitation only.  Stop by Open Gallery hours on Wed from 12-4pm and Sat from 10am-2pm to see this exhibit.  Everyone is invited to the opening reception on Friday, Sep 6 from 6-8pm, which is a great opportunity to meet the artists and all artwork is available for sale.
