CELEBRATING 20 YEARS!
The Sonoma Plein Air Festival is held annually in September, bringing over 30 juried, nationally-acclaimed artists to Sonoma for a week to paint throughout the region, then show and sell their work to benefit youth arts education in Sonoma Valley. The Festival is produced by the all-volunteer Sonoma Plein Air Foundation. The Art Show and Sale and a Gala Dinner event are the primary source of funding to provide art education for public school students in the Sonoma Valley. |
"Art keeps kids in school, too often young adults get lost in this world they do not feel a part of. In Art classes at Sonoma Valley High School, students find their voices, new skills, passions and inspiration. Our students are problem solvers, creative and our world's modern innovators." |
You can be part of the 20th Anniversary celebration of Sonoma Plein Air Festival!Over the past 20 years, the Sonoma Plein Air Foundation has provided funding for kilns, murals, mosaics, art classes, maker rooms and so much more. We have funded local projects and provided support to help the children and youth of Sonoma Valley grapple with disaster, dislocation, and anxiety.
Creativity and the arts helps them with self-discovery, self-esteem, and stress relief. Art enhances our lives and the community; it binds us together, feeds our curiosity and creates shared joy. |
