The 6th annual Fresh Coast Plein Air Festival was held on Friday and Saturday, June 23rd and 24th in Marquette, MI. The event attracted the most artists ever with 38 participants!
The festival has been part of the “Grand Finale” of the City of Marquette Art Week, a week-long celebration of Marquette’s creative community held during the last full week of June.
This year’s judging, reception, presentation of awards, and artwork display was held at Provisions MQT, one of Marquette’s newest coffeehouses on the shore of lake Superior.
Artists decided for themselves if they were Level 1 Professionals, or Level 2 Beginners.
Artwork was judged this year by Rapid River, Michigan’s prize winning and renowned artist Tracy Anderson. Thank you, Tracy!
