Welcome
to the 2013 Gallery Night and Day Plein Air Painting Competition.
Judging will be based on three things; Composition, Use of Color and
Capturing the Character of the Historic Third Ward. Images should
portray the life and vitality within the Historic Third Ward district.
Boundaries are the lake, the river and Clybourn Street. There are a lot
of cool places to choose from!
