Artists' Sign-Up for Quick-Paint at the Bell
Our MPAC exhibit at the Bell Museum will end May 26, 2024. Monthly public activities have helped generate a great deal of attention and enthusiasm for plein air painting, OPM's Plein Air Grand Marais and Winter Plein Air events, as well as Red Wing Plein Air and Prairie Lakes Plein Air.
On Saturday, May 11, as a final activity during the exhibit, the Bell Museum is hosting a 90 minute quick paint followed by display of paintings on the south patio. Artists in the Bell exhibit as well as OPM members are encouraged to participate.
