Oshkosh Plein Air

Oshkosh Plein Air Winners

A city surrounded by water brought in thirty artists to paint for awards exceeding two thousand dollars. Founded on industry but born from its waterway Oshkosh gave artists the chance to paint the gritty to the grand. In the 1903 Gregorian Revival Yacht Club know as The Waters the artist/patron reception was held, bringing together the fine works created during the week.
