| Come join us in Granite City for a series of Plein Air Painting sessions. We will be celebrating the historic but blighted downtown before it undergoes revitalization. This is a rare opportunity to find beautiful and meaningful formal images in the brick architecture and surrounding urban areas. In the spirit of the Ashcan Realists, this authentic urban industrial backdrop is home to views similar to those in a George Luks or George Bellows painting, while some of the streets have architecture and light reminiscent of an Edward Hopper master piece. These outings will result in a juried exhibition of paintings in the main rotunda at Granite City’s City Hall. This event is part of the community’s efforts to expose artists to the benefits of living and working in Granite City. Please join us in a pleasant and rewarding way to benefit a community and the arts. When : Three sessions Saturday May 16th start 9am Saturday May 30th start 9am Saturday June 13th start 9am Why : Public Exhibition Granite City’s City Hall rotunda Aug 14th – Sept. 25th celebrating the history and intrinsic beauty of the downtown.
