This year’s Local Color Art Show and Sale, by the Working Artist Forum with the support of Plein Air Easton Competition and Arts Festival, was held on July 20th through July 23rd. The public was invited to attend the opening ceremony and award presentation at Christ Church at Noon on July 20th. The opening was very well attended. Judging had taken place prior to the opening by Charlie Hunter, 2022 Grand Prize winner at Plein Air. Easton. Hunter’s work can be seen at https://www.hunter-studio.com.
