The 5th Annual Plein Air–Easton! Competition & Arts Festival is seeking volunteers to help with this exciting event, to be held July 20-26, 2009. Art lovers and fun lovers welcome! Persons of all ages, abilities, and talents are needed before, during, and after the week of the festival. In just four years, this event has become the East Coast’s premier plein air festival and one of Easton’s main attractions. A large part of this success has been strong support from the community and a cadre of dedicated volunteers. Come join us for Plein Air–Easton! 2009, which promises to celebrate its fifth anniversary in style.

Volunteer orientation and training will be held July 16 at 6pm and July 18 at 10:30am at the Academy Art Museum. All volunteers will be treated to a “Meet the Artists” BBQ dinner at the Waterview Grille at Easton Club. Interested persons should contact Volunteer Coordinator Elizabeth Tong in advance at 410.822.8878 or 410.822.7297.
