Plein Air Painters of Idaho are dedicated to promoting on location
painting among its members and other artists state wide at scenic
locations that depict an environmentally unique ecosystem and
historic places.
We are committed to promoting the natural beauty of Idaho via visual
arts and thereby increasing the quality of life, economic
development and community resources throughout the state by creating
a Plein Air Painting Museum.
Plein Air Painters of Idaho (PAPI) is a group of artists who strive
to capture a moment in time by painting on location, "alla prima,"
from life. The varied style of its members loosely captures the
essence of Idaho's vast canyon lands, high deserts, valleys, lakes
and streams and native prairies still wild at heart. Our work brings
environmental awareness of the needs of people, habitat and
ecosystem conservation by depicting the vulnerability of these areas
and tracks changes resulting from development. Our images offer a
documentary of the fragile interdependence of bio diversity and
man's impact upon that structure in an effort to share the beauty
that is Idaho's wild places.
Touring art exhibits resulting from such paint outs will serve as a
"museum without walls" to be shared with communities within the
state and represent our state in exchange exhibits nationally and
internationally. The exhibits will foster greater cultural and
environmental understanding within the arts and promote cultural
tourism world wide.
These exhibits will be funded by sponsorships and organizational
partnering among art communities, businesses, foundations and
grants. A formal museum to house the permanent collection and host
exchange exhibits from other plein air painters is currently being
planned. Further funding of that nonprofit venture will be the
direct of museum tours, exhibits exchanges, workshops, gallery
sales, philanthropic gifts, fundraisers and community program
development.
