Plein Air painting or drawing in any medium i.e., outdoors, from direct observation of the subject matter.
The Village of Schaumburg and Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts announces the 11th Prairie Plein Air Competition and Show in Schaumburg, IL. Plein air artists are invited to use their vision and talents to capture picturesque vistas of Schaumburg’s diverse, award winning lifestyle. Schaumburg, a community of 78,700 residents 30 miles northwest of Chicago, offers a myriad of inspirations for plein air artists, from modern skyscrapers to quaint 19th century buildings, cozy suburban homes to log cabins, bustling commercial street scenes to the stately Veterans Gateway Memorial clock tower, beautifully landscaped public parks and gardens to the wild flora of Spring Valley Nature Center, a majestically ‘steepled’ mid-19th century church to a 21st century minor league baseball park, suburbanites sitting pond side watching swans at the municipal center grounds to docents dressed in traditional costume harnessing draft horses at Heritage Farm, and much, much more!

The Village of Schaumburg is following State and County mandates requiring masks in indoor public areas. The open nature of the outdoor competition makes verifying vaccination status for participants impractical. Prairie Plein Air Competition and Show painting will be held outdoors; attendees are encouraged to follow practices/make decisions that are in their best interests for their own health and safety.
