Plein Air Outing 2025


Placer Land Trust Partners with the Tour

April 26, 2025, 3-7 pm
Big Hill Preserve

May 17, 8 am to noon
Laursen Preserve

Join us for a plein air art and photography outing! Placer Artists Tour and Placer Land Trust are partnering for these two opportunities to create art in the outdoors. This will be a self-guided stroll either Big Hill Preserve or Laursen Bear River Preserve. Seek out the oak woodlands and granite outcroppings or wildflowers in sprawling meadows to sketch, paint, and photograph the beauty that catches your eye. 

This is a free event; however, donations help make these activities possible! We suggest a donation of $10 per person or $25 for a family. You can donate during registration, and we’re happy to accept cash or a check at the event in an envelope with your name written on it. 

Your artistic interpretations from the event can be featured in the Natural Wonders show at General Gomez Arts in Auburn, July 12 – August 3! Application will be sent to participants.
