Plein Air Artist Demonstration with Pam Luer
Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 12p - 2p | MMAM Gardens
Plein air artist, Pam Luer, will be doing a live demonstration of her work in the gardens of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. This demonstration is outdoors, free, and open to the public to watch or to paint along.
This plein air artist demonstration is part of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum’s Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience: Boats, Bridges, and Backwaters, a weekend of workshops, exhibitions, presentations, and public programs in Winona, MN. Now in its third year, the Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience brings together two creative communities committed to making artwork out of doors: today’s urban sketchers and traditional plein air painters. Staged from MMAM, known for its stunning location on the Mississippi River in Southeast Minnesota’s Driftless Region and a world-class art collection, the Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience is quickly becoming the fall destination for painters and sketchers alike.
