A CELEBRATION OF OUTDOOR PAINTING TO BENEFIT ARTS EDUCATION IN SONOMA VALLEY

Sonoma Plein Air Festival

Since 2002, the Sonoma Plein Air Festival has brought nationally-renowned artists together for a week of painting in Sonoma Wine Country and across the region to Marin, San Francisco and the stunning coast.

Festival week includes a Quick Draw at Sonoma's Tuesday night Farmers Market, a beautiful Friday night Gala and Silent Art Auction, and culminates in a Saturday Art Show and Sale on historic Sonoma Plaza showcasing the Artists’ works painted during the week.

Ours is a completely non-profit festival whose single mission is funding local K-12 arts education in Sonoma Valley public schools and community arts programs. All artist commissions support creativity development for our next generation.
