Plein Air Easton draws people from all over the Delmarva peninsula and the U.S. to Easton during this event. The Local Color Art Show and Sale has been an integral part of Plein Air Easton since 2004. Philanthropy is embedded in the WAF mission, A portion of each Local Color artwork sale goes to the local Eastern Shore Elementary Schools to supplement art supplies for their art curriculum, which both students and teachers applaud. Art Education, like philanthropy, is also a tenet of the WAF legacy. Local Color plans 5 demonstrations by notable plein air artists throughout PAE.
