Meet the 30 renowned Artists who came to paint
for Sonoma Plein Air Festival 2024


Each year in September, Jury-selected Artists arrive from around California and across the country to paint throughout the region, from Sonoma to San Francisco, during our annual Festival Week. The final day showcases of their stunning results at the Art Show & Sale on Historic Sonoma Plaza.

Art buyers support both the artists and art education in Sonoma Valley’s public schools and non-profits
, with 40% of painting sales directed to fund grants for K-12 art programs and supplies.
Our gratitude is boundless for our participating artists, their talents, and community supporters.
