Exhibit Opening: En Plein Air Exhibit at La Grua Center

Exhibit Opening: En Plein Air exhibit at La Grua Center, presented in partnership with the Stonington Garden Club. The opening reception takes place Friday, May 8, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, offering a chance to view and purchase original artwork in a relaxed, gallery-style setting. The exhibit highlights plein air painting, a style focused on capturing outdoor scenes and natural light directly on location.

The collection features a range of subjects and techniques, reflecting the diversity of the artists involved. From coastal views and local streetscapes to garden and landscape studies, the exhibit presents a snapshot of the region through the eyes of painters working in real-world environments. All artwork on display is available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the La Grua Center’s year-round programming and continued investment in local arts.

Guests are invited to enjoy a glass of wine while exploring the exhibit during the opening reception, with a suggested $5 donation. The show will remain on view through the end of June, providing extended access for visitors who may not attend the opening. As a community-driven arts event, the exhibit connects local artists, organizations, and audiences in a shared space dedicated to creativity and support.
