Groveland Gallery 11th Annual Plein Air "Smackdown"

Groveland Gallery's 11th Annual Plein Air Smackdown is a great way to experience art in the wild as 40 plein air artists paint around our Minneapolis neighborhood. Painters will be at their easels from 10am-1pm and then display their works at Groveland Gallery 2pm-5pm. Enjoy the opportunity to visit with artists and watch them paint, then purchase their fresh paintings framed and displayed in the gallery. We'll serve lemonade and snacks on the Groveland Gallery porch overlooking the Walker Sculpture Garden. Groveland Gallery is presenting this year's event in collaboration with @Outdoor Painters of Minnesota.

Groveland Gallery is just up the hill from the Walker Art Center on Groveland Terrace, with easy off-street parking, additional street parking free on weekends, and a short walk from the Walker’s underground parking ramp.
