The Snoqualmie Arts Commission seeks participants for its Plein Air Paint Out competition, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, during Railroad Days. Artists of all skill levels and in all media are invited to paint “en plein air,” or in the open air in downtown Snoqualmie.

A student division, for ages 18 and younger, is available. The Kid’s Paint Junction will have free art materials for children to use.

Judges will select first, second and third place artworks at a free artist reception hosted at the Black Dog Arts Café at 3 p.m.

The first-place winner will be featured as the 2016 Plein Air Paint Out poster. Daniel Smith gift certificates will be awarded to the second and third-place winners.

Artists must check in at the Railroad Park gazebo on the day of the event prior to beginning pieces.

Day-of registration is allowed. Blank watercolor paper or canvas must be stamped upon check-in to qualify. Artworks must be completed by 3 p.m.

Registration is free and no business license is required.

Winning artworks from previous years will be available for purchase at the gazebo.
