Plein
AirEaston! Announces Dates & Updates for 2008
4th Annual Competition &
Arts Festival to be Held July 21-27, 2008
It's never too soon to join
the thousands of people who celebrate the East Coast's
premier plein air event. Organizers for the 4th Annual
Plein AirEaston! Competition & Arts Festival have
already announced the dates for next year's festival:
July 21 thru 27, 2008.
Artists, art collectors, art and nature enthusiasts,
students, tourists, local businesses, and spectators
alike have discovered that this event truly lives up
to its slogan of offering Art for Everyone. The rousing
success of the 2007 event, which attracted large crowds
and posted 50% increases in sales and dollar volumes
over previous years across the board, brought the festival
to a new level of excellence. Now is the time to gear
up for what promises to be another don't miss event
in 2008.
Important Dates
December 1, 2007: 2008 Competition Prospectus
released to artists and general public
March 3, 2008: Submissions deadline
for entry in national competition
March 24, 2008: Announcements of Competition
Artists
July 21-27, 2008: Competition &
Arts Festival
The success of Plein AirEaston! has largely occurred
because of the talents and dedication of festival organizers
and community volunteers who have worked tirelessly
to establish the event in its first three years. The
2008 festival will see a restructuring of its organizers.
Nancy Tankersley, a founder of the event, will be stepping
down in order to focus more on her art and business
ventures. Tankersley has been a stalwart contributor
to the extensive planning and execution of the Plein
AirEaston! She served as Competition Chairperson and
Advertising Coordinator for three years. Tankersley,
along with her husband, Carl, owns South Street Art
Gallery in Easton and The Annex in St. Michaels. She
will continue to serve in an advisory role on the event
steering committee.

2008. For more information, call 410-822-7297 or visit
