In just three short years, the Olmsted Plein Air Invitational, held in Atlanta in the springtime, has become one of the most prestigious Plein Air Painting competitions in the United States.

This year’s event took on an air of establishment as competing artists were invited by a preeminent selection jury to paint at several Atlanta landmarks. The event culminated in Atlanta’s historic Olmsted Linear Park in the city’s Druid Hills neighborhood. Painters competed for one of the largest purses in the country and the prestige of winning The Olmsted trophy
