Plein Air Survey

Hi OPM
This is from Wendie Thompson of the Wisconsin Plein Air Painting Assoc., I contacted her last week about some sort of future "Border Battle" plein air event MN vs WI and she loved the idea. She in turn asked if I would pass this survey on to the OPM membership. It's an interesting issue, and could impact local plein air events like Red Wing and Grand Marais, check it out.

Recently in the October-November issue of Plein Air Magazine, Editor Eric Rhoads suggested that the Plein Air community would benefit from the creation of a sanctioning body to rate Plein Air events.

In this article he suggested standards for running these events, in order to maintain the quality of work and sustain the interests of collectors. There will be a meeting to discuss this idea and the issues raised at the next Plein Air Convention being held in a couple of weeks.

In order to give the Plein Air community a voice at that meeting, some of my fellow WIPAPA members and I have created a survey that deals with these issues.

The survey is only 22 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. If this interests you, I urge you to take the survey and offer your opinions to the discussion.
