Artists will have an exciting opportunity to participate in the Come Paint Alberta Plein Air Circuit by registering for this fun, six-day event organized by the Route 22 Artist Collective!
For this upcoming Art in the Park, we are opening up the week leading up to September 29th to allow plein air artists more time to paint during the opening hours of the Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation. This will help accommodate busy artists and/or unpredictable weather. Artist will be required to have their canvas supports stamped with the official CPA stamp at the Route 22 Gallery during gallery hours before heading out to plein air paint.
Artists will receive their swag bag and can enjoy a continental breakfast on the morning of September 28th at Route 22 Gallery! Artists will then head to the historic Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation (GRPF) to set up for some inspiring plein air painting. GRPF golf carts will be assisting with shuttling artists and their materials around the park. The GRPF tourist center will be open, but it is advisable to bring a packed lunch and water bottles as there are no other food services on site.
Parking at Glenbow Ranch Park is limited, so carpooling with a fellow artist from the Route 22 Gallery parking lot is also highly recommended!
