Plein Air at Delamore: See Delamore Differently – Call for Artists

We are seeking 4-5 artists with a plein air practice for a paid audience facing role as part of Delamore Arts 2026.

Plein Air at Delamore will be a weekend long event that will open this year’s exhibition in the grounds of Delamore Estate, falling on the first May bank holiday weekend. Commissioned artists will be invited to create work in Delamore’s grounds and will then be invited to compete in the final professional’s day.

Commissioned artists will paint on location, engaging with audiences about their practice and being a part of the events activity for the bank holiday weekend. Each painter will also hold a 1-2 hour session along the lines of a demonstration, paint along, technique workshop (their choosing) that audiences will be able to join for.

We are seeking a diverse range of practices that demonstrate the breadth of plein air/open air creative processes, from the more traditional association with oil and watercolour, through to digital, urban, printmaking and other media.
