Inspired by the French term en plein air, which translates to “outdoors” and refers to the method of painting outdoors, the city of Alpharetta will be hosting a five-day artists invitational where artists from all over the county will participate in painting locations around our city. Those interested in observing are welcome to stop by and can expect a professional and novice competition with awards, a quick draw competition, and a wet paint sale. The event is expected to last each day from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., and for those who can’t make it, works of art will be on display at the Alpharetta Arts Center from May 21st until June 4th. awesomealpharetta.com
