“Plein art” (painting in the outdoors) will take over the picturesque Adirondack Village of Saranac Lake from August 15-18, 2013. It is the 5th Annual Adirondack Plein Art Festival.
Dozens of artists can be viewed creating their own masterpieces along the streets and sidewalks of this mountain village. Even if you do not have any artistic capability of your own, this event draws large crowds of onlookers watching the artists at work all over the community.
