The PleinAir Salon was established by Eric Rhoads, the esteemed publisher of PleinAir magazine, and has now grown into one of the most prestigious art competitions in the world. As we proudly celebrate our 13th year, we continue to uphold the tradition of recognizing and rewarding excellence in plein air painting and other forms of representational art.
Inspired by the renowned French Salon, originally created by the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this annual online competition follows a unique structure designed to foster artistic growth. It consists of 12 monthly competitions, each serving as a stepping stone toward the Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition. This format encourages artists to continuously refine their skills and seek new creative challenges, all while competing for national recognition.
Each year, a total of $50,000 in cash prizes is awarded to talented artists, providing not only financial support but also unparalleled exposure. The grand prize-winning painting is prominently featured on the cover of PleinAir magazine, offering the artist an exceptional opportunity to gain international recognition.
Artists who win in the monthly competitions receive cash prizes and extensive promotion through PleinAir magazine’s print edition, e-newsletters, website, and social media channels. Additionally, all monthly winners automatically advance to the final round of the annual competition.
The highly anticipated 13th Annual PleinAir Salon Awards will be held live at the Plein Air Convention & Expo in May 2024, where the grand prize winner will be presented with a $15,000 check in front of an audience of esteemed artists, collectors, and industry professionals. This thrilling event is not only a celebration of artistic talent but also an incredible opportunity for networking and career advancement.
