The exhibition is at Butler University in the lobby of Clowes Memorial Hall and runs from Tuesday, August 7 to Sunday, October 7. Artist and curator Justin Vining will give a guided tour at the opening reception on Tuesday, August 28 at 6 p.m. Plein air comes from the French en plein air, which translates to “in the open air.” Artists paint outdoors to embrace the nature and concentrate on a single scene until it is completed.
