Gallery North: 'Plein Air Edmonds' on Display Throughout August

celebrates the picturesque scenery of Edmonds and the Pacific Northwest throughout the month of August with its "Plein Air Edmonds – Beauty of the Northwest" exhibit.

This show, sponsored by , features paintings in a variety of mediums, created by more than 30 local artists. Much of the work is the result of artists painting on location (plein air) during June and July as part of Gallery North’s Plein Air Edmonds Paint Out events.

The Plein Air Edmonds poster competition winner was Robin Weiss for his painting, “White House.” Show awards will be presented during an artists’ reception on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the gallery.

This year’s jurors are award-winning Edmonds artists, Pamela Harold and Alice Owen.
