Emerging Artists in the East Hallway
Our Plein Aire Sunday Painters have created quite a collection of oil paintings
in the east hallway of the main gallery. All of these pieces originated directly from
our sunday plein aire painting class, where Jason Cornish teaches the principles of outdoor painting to students of all skill levels while enjoying Lapeer County's landscapes and scenic country vignettes. Jason's artwork is currently on display at the Hunstman club in Dryden.
Check out our Classes Page for more information.
