Why join the Hamilton Ontario Plein Air Artists?

Creating art can be isolating but when you join us, you’ll get out of your studio and into nature with like-minded artists.

Experience new vistas both in the Hamilton area during weekly meetups and beyond on seasonal road trips.
For the landscape painter, working outdoors and witnessing your subject first hand is the ultimate creative experience. Working from life and observing how light reacts to various forms will improve your artwork.
Plus we often have opportunities to interact with other nature lovers we meet on the trails who often fall in love with the paintings they witness being created.
Lastly, our leader loves to organize us! You'll enjoy pre-planned trips and events especially for the plein air painter.
