ART WEEK Plein Air Painting Demonstration by Steve Hughes

As a part of the celebration Lake Superior Art Association’s 70th Anniversary, this demonstration will give a preview to the LSAA-supported Fresh Coast Plein Air Festival (June 25th). Local plein air painter from Northern Michigan University, Professor of Illustration Steve Hughes, will be demonstrating plein air techniques and capturing the ever-changing evening light and waves crashing against the breakwall. The demonstration will take place in the Presque Isle Gazebo, the construction of which was funded by LSAA and gifted to the City in 1985 in honor of Anita Meyland, the founder of Art on the Rocks in 1959.

This activity is part of the City of Marquette’s 2022 Art Week. For more information on Art Week, visit our Art Week homepage. For a full listing of this year’s events, click here. Please note that event details are subject to change; online listings will be updated as necessary.
