The Tryon Plein Air Society (TAPAS) will hold its September Paint-Out Saturday, Sept. 3 at 9 a.m. This month’s event will be at the home and gardens of Sylvia Green, 2110 Lake Adger Parkway in Mill Spring.
TAPAS paint-outs are generally scheduled for the first Saturday of each month.
“En plein air” is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is used to describe outdoor painting, which has been in vogue since the time of the Impressionists.
If you are a painter (beginner, advanced or professional), who would like to paint outdoors,  the Tryon Area Plein Air Society (TAPAS) is continuing the tradition and welcomes new members.
TAPAS is also for connecting members with each other as painting companions and providing opportunities to paint local landscapes outdoors. The group also promotes community awareness of plein-air painting through exhibits and the organization of paint-outs.
There are no membership costs or dues for TAPAS group participation, but please bring your own supplies.
For more information, email nctapas@gmail.com or contact Sylvia Green at 828 894-6525, or Carl Cartee at 864 457-5122.
