pleinair salon online art competition

15th Annual PleinAir Salon $50,000 Art Competition!

The PleinAir Salon was created by PleinAir magazine publisher Eric Rhoads, and we are celebrating our 15th year. In the spirit of the French Salon created by the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this annual online competition, with 12 monthly cycles, leading to the Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition, is designed to stimulate artistic growth through competition. The competition rewards artists with $50,000 in all cash prizes each year, and exposure of their work, with the winning painting featured on the cover of PleinAir magazine.
