The St. Johns Cultural Council and the St. Augustine Art Association present the plein air art exhibition 'Historic Impressions on a Modern Canvas,' opening October 9 at the Rotunda Gallery in St. Augustine, Florida. Juried by artist Kathy Odom, the show features works created during the city's April Plein Air Paint Out and other local paint-out events at venues including the Lightner Museum Garden and Fort Mose Historic State Park. A public reception with a People's Choice Awards vote will be held on opening night.
The exhibition highlights the growing community engagement with plein air painting in St. Augustine, connecting local artists and residents through a shared appreciation of outdoor art-making. By including works from multiple historic and cultural sites, the show also promotes tourism and cultural heritage in the region, supported by local and state arts funding.
