On the final night of Plein Air Live, Eric Rhoads and Kelly Kane hosted the awards ceremony for our 10th Annual Plein Air Salon with an international audience awaiting the results.
The Plein Air Salon has 18 categories for artists to enter – why the name? It’s held by our very own Plein Air Magazine. Each month, a top art icon judges the entries.
What about prizes? Winners receive $1,100 in monthly cash prizes, $21,500 in annual cash prizes, and our annual grand prize winner gets $15,000 AND their painting on the cover of Plein Air Magazine.

I just renewed my subscription to Pleinair magazine, for USmail. I would like to have it both mail and the digital one also. I’m assuming that is available for US subscriptions; when I called to renew my subscription I asked to change to digital, but was told that wasn’t an option for US. I’m assuming the subscription for both is available for us here in the US, am I right? Please call me and let me know so I can pay the extra, for getting both. Thanks for your help with this. I really want to get the digital so I will take both if necessary! I just discovered the magazine this year and I think it is BY FAR the best one on the market! Thanks for putting it out, and I’ve learned so much during the Covid from your kind showings for this time.
Hi Monita! Thanks for subscribing! I’ve shared your question with our customer service team, and so you’ll hear from them soon. 🙂 Stay well, and happy painting!
