Elora en Plein Air – a Grand River Painting Festival from May 18 to 21 is a four-day art festival for artists and visitors alike.
The festival includes three days of painting outdoors and an art show and sale with juried awards going to the top three paintings as well as a People’s Choice award.
There are several other categories of prizes as well.
Anyone who has a home, garden or favourite aspect within Centre Wellington can contact the festival if they would welcome some artists to paint on their property.
Festival officials say they like to offer a range of vistas to our registrants and some spots are hidden gems that can be accessed by invitation only.
