Sonoma Plein Air Festival

Where world-class art, wine country beauty, and purpose come together

Each September, the Sonoma Valley transforms into an open-air studio as nationally acclaimed artists capture its vineyards, historic architecture, and golden California light—painting en plein air in real time. The result? Fresh, expressive works that reflect the spirit and beauty of this extraordinary region.

These just-painted pieces make their debut during festival week—first at the highly anticipated Friday Gala, then at the Saturday Art Show in Sonoma Plaza Park, where all 20 artists present their newest work.

This is your moment to collect.
The most sought-after paintings are often acquired quickly—many during the Gala—so early access matters.

Friday Gala – premier viewing + first opportunity to purchase
🌿 Saturday Show | Sonoma Plaza Park – full exhibition of fresh work

Beyond the beauty, your participation makes a lasting impact. Proceeds directly fund art education grants and scholarships for K–12 students in Sonoma Valley—supporting the next generation of artists.

Come for the art. Stay for the experience.
Leave with something meaningful.
