The 2011 AITG Artists

The juried artists who are participating in the festival and working plein-aire throughout the event will each have original works on display for your enjoyment and available for purchase. All our guests have the opportunity to watch them work and speak with them directly about their art. These selected artists will all be donating a 30% commision to the Community Assistance Fund for the sale of their artwork.

There will be 18 artists on-site, working plein-aire for you to watch. Mediums they represent include oil painting, acrylics, watercolors, illustration, bronze sculpturing, wood carving, metal working, and many more.
