Into Nature Jr. Youth Plein Air Exhibition
July 25-August 22, 2025
In the Community Hallway
Into Nature Jr. is a youth plein air exhibition celebrating the beauty of a Minnesota summer through the eyes of young artists ages 6-15.
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—whether it’s a park, the beach, or even your backyard.
Registration closed July 19
Participation dates: June 16-July 19, 2025
Kids are encouraged to paint or draw outside. It can be in their backyard, at a local park, or even on the campus of White Bear Center for the Arts. There are plenty of places to find inspiration around White Bear Lake, just remember to get parental consent before you start!
