WHAT TO EXPECT:

Artists will have an exciting opportunity to participate in the Come Paint Alberta Plein Air Circuit by registering for this fun, five-day event organized by the Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery.

As we did for the last year's festival, we will be opening up the week leading up to Tuesday, August 26th to allow plein air artists more time to paint during the opening hours of the Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. This will help accommodate busy artists and/or unpredictable weather.

Artist will be required to have their canvas supports stamped with the official CPA stamp at the Route 22 Gallery during gallery hours before heading out to plein air paint.

Artists can pick up their swag bag at Route 22 on any morning during the festival days (26th to 30th). Inside each swag bag will be a one time use voucher to use at leisure for a beverage and a treat at a local coffee shop.

Artists will then head to the historic Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation (GRPF) to set up for some inspiring plein air painting.

The Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park tourist center will be open, but it is advisable to bring a packed lunch and water bottles as there are no other food services on site.

Parking at Glenbow Ranch Park is limited, so carpooling with a fellow artist from the Route 22 Gallery parking lot is also highly recommended!

There will be workshop opportunities for Registered Artists! Please watch for updates at:
