SEDONA PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL is a celebration of Sedona's extraordinary beauty as seen through the eyes of 30 of the finest plein air painters in the country. The weeklong festival will feature these painters all over town - on the streets, trailheads, creeks and vistas - capturing the beauty of the Sedona area on canvas. "En plein air," French for "in the open air," is a spontaneous art form with artists creating outdoors, responding to the immediacy of the moment and reflecting the excitement of the changing light, weather conditions and deepening shadows on canvas.
