2023 Plein Air Festival Juried Exhibition

2023 Plein Air festival juried exhibition

JULY 22, 2023–JANUARY 14, 2024

Juried By Shuang Li and Michael Obermeyer with OMA executive director Maria Mingalone
As part of OMA’s second bi-annual Plein Air Festival (July 15-22, 2023) artists at all levels of experience were welcomed to participate in OMA’s second biennial Oceanside Plein Air Festival, celebrating creativity and the natural environment. The Festival is not only about the artists who join in the creative process, it is also for our friends, neighbors, visitors, and art lovers of all ages that have connections to our beautiful city. Everyone is invited to share curiosity, wonder, and joy as they watch scenes of the ocean and beaches, landscapes, and cityscapes of Oceanside come to life on canvas and paper. It is a time for people to find connection and empathy–all at the intersection of art and everyday life.

Each festival participant completed multiple artworks en plein air (French for “outdoors”) during the course of the week, from which the jurors Shuang Li, Michael Obermeyer, and OMA Executive Director Maria Mingalone selected for this exhibition. Look for the award-winning works and honorable mentions throughout the gallery.

The 2023 Plein Air Festival Juried Exhibition is a stunning showcase of original plein air works of art representing Southern California’s natural beauty and urban environments in a variety of media, all created over the course of one exciting week.
