The inaugural exhibition by the Bristol Plein Air* Painters brings together a collective of artists working across the city and beyond, united by a shared commitment to painting from observation. Part of Blooming Bedminster and the Bedminster Garden Festival, the exhibition reflects a collective engagement with place: observed, revisited, and reinterpreted through paint.

*The French term plein air means out of doors

“What began as a small group of artists painting outdoors together has grown beyond anything I expected. Seeing nearly 100 paintings by more than 50 talented artists gathered in one place is a wonderful reminder of the creativity, generosity and community that exists across Bristol’s art scene.”

Helena Traill, Founder, Bristol Plein air Painters
