2016 EnPleinAirTEXAS Sponsorship Opportunities
Some of the best plein air artists in the country will arrive in San Angelo this October, painting around our city & countryside. Local residents & visitors have an opportunity to actively engage as volunteers & as art lovers; watching, learning, & making new friends during a week of mostly free activities. The artists donate a portion of each painting sold to the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, benefiting arts education activities for thousands of students & adults in the Concho Valley.
In its first two years, EnPleinAirTEXAS has quickly grown into a nationally respected competition. This could not happen without the continued support of individual & corporate sponsors & patrons. As a supporter of EnPleinAirTEXAS, you may join the 35 Competition Artists in special social events throughout the week. Your gift to EnPleinAirTEXAS, hosted by The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, is tax deductible.
This event is made possible in part by the generosity of a true patron of the arts, Elta Joyce Murphey-McAfee. We are deeply indebted to the expression of trust in the future of EnPleinAirTEXAS exhibited by her generous endowment.
