SEASONS Gallery was thrilled to again host Plein Air Hudson for our ninth year!

An eagerly-anticipated part of the summer art scene in Hudson, SEASONS Gallery invited twenty-one accomplished local and regional plein air artists to Hudson to capture the beauty of our community through their paintings, en plain air – a French expression which translates to “in open air.” Artists work with the changing details of weather and light as they capture scenes in and around Hudson and the St. Croix River throughout the summer. Our painting competition culminated on the weekend of August 10th and 11th where the artists “Paint the Town” to complete their final paintings for judging.

An award ceremony was held on August 12th with Dan Mackerman acting as this year’s judge. We wish to thank all the participating artists, and are pleased to highlight the winners.
