Who We Are
Olmsted Plein Air Invitational, Georgia Color Plein Air, and Olmsted Gallery are made possible with the generous support of our Sponsors, Patrons, Collectors & People like you!
Since 2015, Olmsted Arts, Inc. has been dedicated to enriching visual and cultural art education through the art of plein air painting. We bring this mission to life through events, workshops, lectures, and demonstrations led by some of the nation’s most esteemed artists.
Thank You
From August 27–29, Olmsted Arts had the pleasure of presenting a three-day workshop with artist Robert Simone.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Robert for sharing his time, knowledge, and expertise with our students. We are also grateful to Mary Ferguson for her invaluable logistical support and to The Leon for generously hosting the workshop in its beautiful seventh-floor space.
Located just west of Ponce City Market, The Leon is a 74-unit condominium offering expansive views east along Ponce de Leon Avenue and west toward the Midtown skyline. With its ideal location, convenience, and distinctive flair, The Leon provided a wonderful setting for three days of creativity and learning.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this inspiring workshop possible!
