Plein Air Paints the Fall
For the first time in its nearly 20 year history, the Telluride Plein Air Festival is happening in mid-September. Roughly half of the originally confirmed 25 artists came to Telluride for the delayed festival. KOTO spoke with some of the artists and with Ronnie Palamar, Executive Director of the Sheridan Arts Foundation—for whom this is the largest annual fundraiser—about this year’s unique festival and the art of outside painting.
Featured Songs:
”Prayer” by Cory Wong and Jon Batiste
“Lullaby” by Cory Wong and Jon Batiste
