May 18th, 2024 - 2nd Annual Wilbur Niewald Plein Air Weekend

43 Regional Outdoor Painters were pre-registered for the 2nd Annual Wilbur Niewald Plein Air Weekend, held on May 17th-18th in the Historic West Bottoms.

From the 38 participating artists, 70+ original works were generated during our 3 Scheduled Quick Paint Events.

The results were phenomenal in reflecting street scenes and classic architecture. From our southern homebase at the Stockyards Building to as far North as the Weld Wheel Building, at the time imminently scheduled for implosion, our artists were capturing not only nostalgia, but rendering forever timeless images of an ever changing West Bottoms District.
