The 2019 Desert Ridge Plein Air Painting Festival provides a unique opportunity for artists to create original painted artworks live and in the open air, capturing the essence of a vibrant retail and community space while inviting shoppers to experience the sight, sound, and even texture of the plein air process. Additional activities include a Youth Plein Air competition, free painting activities for kids, onstage drawing and painting workshops, and an auction of previous festival paintings. For more information, visit www.saaca.org/desertridgepleinair
