Suwanee Fall Plein Air Arts Event Coming in October 2012

The twice yearly event is put on by the North Gwinnett Arts Association.

Another staple of the vibrant Suwanee arts scene is cranking up for a fall run. The Fall Plein Air event will be held in Suwanee -- actually, in several areas of Suwanee -- on Oct. 27-28, 2012.

As always, the sponsoring North Gwinnett Arts Association is inviting "artists of all mediums" to register online.

As with the spring Plein Air event, artists will spread out all over the city to record landscape and structures as they happen, in natural outdoor settings. At the end of the second day, a reception will be held for awards, and paintings also can be purchased by the public.

The awards ceremony and reception will be at Ippolito's in Town Center on Oct. 28, 6-8 p.m.
