Join us September 9-14 for the 2024 Sonoma Plein Air Festival!
Every year, the Sonoma Plein Air Festival brings together renowned artists and art lovers for a week of painting in beautiful Sonoma Wine Country and surrounds from San Francisco to Marin and the stunning coast.
Festival week includes Quick Draw at Tuesday night's farmers market, a Friday night Gala, and Saturday Art Show and Sale.
Proceeds provide grant funding for K-12 art education programs, equipment and supplies for the children and youth of Sonoma Valley.
Since 2002, over 2 million dollars has been granted to youth art programs in Sonoma Valley.
Over the past 22 years, the Sonoma Plein Air Foundation has provided K-12 local funding for kilns, murals, mosaics, art classes, maker rooms, museum visits and so much more. We are able to do this each year thanks to the generosity of each professional artist taking part in our week-long Sonoma Plein Air Festival, our Patrons, donors, volunteers and art buyers! Creativity and the arts helps our students with expression, self-discovery, self-esteem, and stress relief. Art enhances lives and the community itself; it binds us together, feeds our curiosity and creates shared joy.
Thanks for visiting, learn more and consider getting involved!
