Plein Aire Competition

The Creative Arts department at Eastern States Exposition, also known as The Big E, is expanding it's horizons to include other arts and the Plein Air competition is the beginning of encouraging aspects of the community that have not been involved in past Fairs.  This will provide an opportunity to explore other Creative Arts competitions that are of a popular nature and in accordance with the ebb and flow of creative arts. This competition will continue to support the mission and purpose of the ESE to educate Fairgoers and to encourage local and regional participation, demonstration and competition.

To the right is an entry form and guideline sheet giving more detailed information regarding the competition. A limited competition will assist us in testing fairgoers interests and add a more active and educational component to the fair and more particularly to the Creative Arts department..

The Big E has an attendance of over one million visitors each year.   Award sponsors provide valuable incentive for our exhibitors.  If you would be interested in sponsoring an award for this contest please contact creativearts@thebige.com or via phone at 413-205-5015. 

Sincerely,

Sarah M Wanczyk
Coordinator for New England Center and Creative Arts
