This Plein Aire event begins near the end of May and goes through the Summer and early Fall months.

Kate Bowditch
Kate Bowditch’s painting of the Orchestral atmosphere at the Capitol Theater was selected for the cover of this year's programs for the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. (The Color of Music)
In honor of the Year of the Rabbit, she was asked to create a painting of two rabbits together.
Mary Jepsen
Mary Jepsen was commissioned this last Summer by the Yakima Housing Authority to paint three hummingbirds. The paintings are on display in the main building of the new Chuck Austin Place. The housing complex is a new 41-unit permanent supportive housing development serving former homeless veterans. In addition, the complex provides a 12,000 sq. foot supportive center for both residents and the veteran homeless community. Mary selected three hummingbirds found in Washington to create three 8x10" watercolor paintings, which she had framed and then donated to the complex in memory of Dale A. Jepsen, who died as a result of service in Vietnam.
