Into Nature Jr. Youth Plein Air Exhibition
July 23–August 27, 2026
In the Community Hall
Into Nature Jr. is a youth plein air exhibition celebrating the beauty of a Minnesota summer through the eyes of young artists ages 6-16. Kids are encouraged to paint or draw outside. It can be in their backyard, at a local park, or even on the campus of WBCA.
What is plein air? It's a French term meaning "in the open air." Which just means it's a fun way of making art outside. Artists who paint en plein air work outdoors, capturing the beauty of nature at that moment.
Registration dates: May 1-May 30, 2026
Participation dates: June 6–July 16, 2026
Guidelines and registration details coming soon.
