AN OVERVIEW of the PLEIN AIR PAINTERS OF THE JERSEY COAST
The group is comprised of artists who have chosen to explore the beauty of the Central New
Jersey Coastal Area. The group was formed in the spring of 2003 and its membership and
following continue to grow. The group meets every week throughout the year, in all but the
worst weather. Every other Monday morning, the artists meet in a new location. They paint for
the morning and come back to the same location for a second (the following) week's work. After
that week's painting session is complete, members gather to critique each other's work. In
addition to its weekly schedule, the PAPJC has participated in paint outs and has been invited
to paint locally at community and business events in shore area towns. The group is developing
a community outreach program in conjunction with local senior centers and residences.
Each summer, the Plein Air Painters of the Jersey Coast has a major art show of the past year's
work. Additional, smaller shows are scheduled at different times throughout the year. At this
time, annual dues are charged for members who wish to participate in art shows and to share in
such benefits as web site space, links, P.R. and other group activities. Artists who simply wish
to paint with a congenial group are welcome to come to the weekly painting sessions. Members
and Friends of the the Plein AIr Painters of the Jersey Coast are welcome to work in any
medium they prefer. Although no instruction is offered, levels of expertise vary and more
experienced members support the efforts of the newer artists.
Our dues are $50.00. The Summer Show fee is $95.00 Please send them to:
