The Cashiers Plein Air Festival will run through July 18 on The Village Green in Cashiers.
Every two years, the event transforms the Plateau into an open-air studio as a distinguished group of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists gather to paint the landscapes of Cashiers and the surrounding mountains.
Derived from the French phrase “en plein air” (meaning “in the open air”), plein air painting is the practice of creating artwork outdoors, allowing artists to capture the fleeting light, atmosphere and spirit of a place in real time.
