Cornell Art Museum-The Spotlight Gallery for the Month of January “The Magic Hour” /Plein Air Palm Beach
Boca Raton, FL – The Cornell Art Museum presents an upcoming exhibition by Plein Air Palm Beach titled, Magic Hour in the Spotlight Gallery for the month of January 2020. Magic Hour will feature 23 new twilight and nocturnal works by 21 plein air artists. The idea was to challenge the artists to paint new works during those magical twilight hours when the light is fleeting and the colors are more intense. The group hosted paint-out sessions and the results are amazing. Plein Air Palm Beach’s vision is to work with plein air painters, local art groups, cultural centers and the public to support and enhance plein air painting education, events and exhibits. We welcome support and sponsorship from the cultural community to advance our mission & vision. PAPB is a 501c3 non-profit corporation. Opening on Friday January 3, 2020 with a reception beginning at 6pm, in tandem with the First Friday Art Walk. The Magic Hour will be on view until January 31, 2020.
