8th Annual Mountain Maryland Plein Air

The Allegany Arts Council invites you to the mountain side of Maryland for a week of plein air art activities and events. Don’t miss the Saturday, June 11 Collector’s Reception at the Saville Gallery and the Cumberland Quickdraw!

The 8th Annual Mountain Maryland Plein Air event is a juried exhibition and art competition organized by the Allegany Arts Council, a non-profit organization established in 1975 to support and grow the arts in our community. Western Maryland is the ideal setting for a plein air event! Allegany and Garrett Counties are filled with magnificent mountain vistas, pristine state forests and parks, historic architecture, an abundance of small-town charm and a variety of other visual attractions, like the C&O Canal, the Casselman Bridge, the Potomac River, numerous streams throughout both counties, a variety of industrial settings, and the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad.
