2014, 2016, and 2018

Plein Air Magazine has hosted an annual Plein Air Convention and Expo (PACE) since 2012.

Artists do demos on multiple stages, there are group paint-outs, a supply expo hall, and art marketing seminars.

We see different techniques from many artists, check out materials and equipment, get input on the business side of being an artist, re-connect with friends, and make new ones.
