Town Day 2024 En Plein Air Competition Winners

The Third Annual en Plein Air Competition held at Town Day 2024 was a great success. Eight artists had to adjust to the restrictions of sustained rain and downpours throughout the day, and found themselves huddling in tents, but there they also found camaraderie, joy, and surprise in the day’s flow, and the results demonstrate the attraction of this spontaneous, creative artistic process.

The jurors, seasoned Plein Air artist Dan Cianfarini and Executive Director of the Somerville Museum Stephanie Marlin-Curiel took their time in selecting the first- and second-prize winners among the finished paintings, and 91 Town Day visitors voted for the “Arlington Votes” prize.

First prize went to Olha Brieus. Jonny Bloozit won second prize, and Felipe Eguia was the recipient of the Arlington Votes prize, and the Gift Certificate graciously provided by PlayTime Arlington.
