Be a part of the Sonoma Plein Air Festival!

The Sonoma Plein Air Festival is staffed completely by volunteers from the community, local arts organizations and schools.

The Sonoma Plein Air Foundation is comprised of an all-volunteer board of directors that works year-round, as liaisons to the schools and organizations that receive funds. They vote on grants, oversee the artist jurying process, plan, organize and promote the festival and gala.

​If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please email us at sonomapleinair@gmail.com.

Over the past 21 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.
 
There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities at the Art Show & Sale at the Plaza on September. As a volunteer you will benefit as well by participating in one of the most fun & beautiful fundraisers in Sonoma Valley. You will meet nationally acclaimed talented artists, see glorious plein air paintings and talk to art enthusiasts from the Bay Area and beyond.
