Read What These Enthusiastic Attendees Have To Say.
“Had the best time ever! So excited to see all the other artists and learn their closely kept secrets. Loved getting the latest materials to be able to paint like a pro! Met some of my favorite artists and got to tell them I was their biggest fan.”
Toni DeRuntz
“Always a Great Event! See great plein-air painters and vendors coming together in one place to share their talents and wares. Paint with the Masters! Enjoy and grow from Eric Rhoads’ genius showmanship!”
Mark Monsarrat
“Despite the first blush of expense, the convention fee was well worth it for all of the many excellent demonstrations and presentations offered, as well as marketing enthusiasm/psychological affirmations.”
Bobby Miller
“After attending the last two years: This stands as the biggest bang for your buck for artists of all levels and mediums! The convention offers not one instructor, but dozens x two plus! The Expo Hall has amazing products, hands-on buying opportunities, and samples. Marketing Boot Camp is so worth it alone! Giving the artists free-flow opportunity makes this event stand out. Plein air painting each day is wonderful! I could go on”
Susan Gephart
“I learned so much more than I thought I would. I was able to go out painting and apply what I learned each day. The instructor involvement while painting was phenomenal. It’s so helpful to have an accomplished (and sometimes famous) painter explain how you can improve your painting, while you are painting.”
Duncan Knarr
“I am a 6 time returning attendee. [PACE] is an opportunity to immerse yourself in everything about painting outdoors and to meet like-minded painters. A feast for your passion or a great introduction to world of Plein Air Painting .”
