Plein Air Art Competition
Goes Digital
New Iberia, La. --- The Shadows-on-the-Teche Plein Air Art Competition would like to announce a special social media exhibit and virtual sale of plein air work completed from all six years of the competition, from its beginning in 2015 to what would have been the sixth-annual competition in 2020.

After this year's cancellation due to the coronavirus, current and former juried artists worked with the Shadows to launch this one-of-a-kind event which begins on March 20, 2020 and will last through May 31 ,2020.

Paintings are available for sale at  BiddingForGood.com/ShadowsOnTheTeche . Paintings will also be shared on the Shadows Plein Air  Facebook  page and on The Shadows  Instagram  account. This online sale allows people the opportunity to view phenomenal artwork from talented artists and add a little piece of our beautiful Acadiana region to their home.
