For over a decade, the PleinAir Salon has been a beacon of opportunity for artists seeking both recognition and financial rewards. Founded by Eric Rhoads, publisher of PleinAir magazine, this prestigious competition celebrates its 13th anniversary with another exciting year of creativity, talent, and artistic achievement. Modeled after the historic French Salon, which was established by the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this annual contest encourages artists to push their boundaries and showcase their best work.
The competition is structured around 12 monthly contests, leading up to the Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition, where artists have the chance to win a share of the $50,000 total cash prizes awarded each year. But beyond the financial rewards, participants gain invaluable exposure—with the grand prize winner’s painting earning the coveted spot on the cover of PleinAir magazine, a milestone that can significantly elevate an artist’s career.
Each month, winners receive cash prizes and widespread recognition, featured across PleinAir magazine’s print and digital platforms, including e-newsletters, websites, and social media outlets. Monthly winners automatically advance to the annual competition, where they have a shot at the ultimate honor.
The 13th Annual Awards Ceremony will take place at the much-anticipated Plein Air Convention & Expo in May 2024, where the grand prize winner will receive a $15,000 check live on stage. It’s not just a competition—it’s a transformative journey that gives artists the exposure, encouragement, and financial support they need to thrive.
