The PleinAir Salon was established by Eric Rhoads, the publisher of PleinAir magazine, and has become a prestigious platform for artists over the past 13 years. Inspired by the French Salon, originally founded by the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this competition embodies a tradition of celebrating excellence in fine art. The PleinAir Salon Art Competition is structured as a year-long event, featuring 12 monthly cycles, culminating in the highly anticipated Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition.
This esteemed competition serves as a catalyst for artistic development, offering creators the opportunity to refine their skills and gain widespread recognition. Each year, artists compete for an impressive total of $50,000 in cash prizes, with the grand prize winner’s artwork showcased on the cover of PleinAir magazine—a significant honor that provides substantial exposure.
Every month, winners receive cash awards, publicity, and recognition through various PleinAir magazine platforms, including the print edition, e-newsletters, online features, and social media channels. Additionally, all monthly winners are automatically entered into the prestigious annual competition, where they compete for the ultimate title.
The excitement builds up to the 13th Annual Awards Ceremony, which will be hosted live at the Plein Air Convention & Expo in May 2024. During this momentous occasion, the overall winner will be awarded a grand prize check of $15,000, marking a pinnacle achievement in their artistic journey.
