On September 30th the kickoff to the monthlong HPAAC celebration of creativity known as ARTober got underway with the first event, EnPlein Air which welcomed 20 artists to the Hastings and Prescott area to paint a find and paint a scene in just a matter of hours, bring it back to the Evenson Gallerys in the new ArtSpace Hastings river lofts where it would be framed and then presented in grand fashion at a reception held later that evening. Organizer Artist Andy Evenson explains more about the event.
Be sure to tune in later this week for our on-location In Depth where we spoke one on one with 4 of the talented artists involved and also heard more about the future of this unique event.
