In brief, New York Plein
Air Painters was founded more than 7 years ago in an attempt to bring like-minded painters together in order to paint, share
ideas, and exhibit their works. We presently have well over 125 members throughout the entire state, and even some members
from nearby states. Our members are practicing professional on location painters, as well as in studio painters. Our
numbers also include members who paint purely because of their interest in their personal growth and development as painters.
Some areas of the state have very active painting groups, which we call Chapters. Some areas are slowly building their membership
rolls as new members join.
We welcome your participation
in our large organization. Before leaving the site, please click and read 'About Us' where you can
