SPECIAL THANKS for the generous support of museum patron Elta Joyce McAfee and the Elta Joyce Murphey EnPleinAirTEXAS Endowment 

Noted as one of the top plein air competitions in the U.S, this exciting week of activities, and over $30,000 in awards, is possible because of committed volunteers and generous financial support from the community & national vendors.  In 2015, local arts patron Elta Joyce McAfee gifted an endowment to the museum ensuring the future of EnPleinAirTEXAS.  To honor her parents and family name, the Grand Prize is named "The Elta Joyce Murphey Award".

Patrons of EnPleinAirTEXAS enjoy exclusive events with the artists as well as help support a singular cultural and historical art experience unmatched by any other event in the country.  The artists donate a significant portion of each painting sold to the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts as well as  interacting with over 1000 students at every SAISD campus while they are here in town.

This October we will celebrate EnPleinAirTEXAS’ 10th year!
With the support of the community and wonderful sponsors, last year’s proceeds helped fund 8,000 fine
 art experiences for children in the Concho Valley through the museum’s educational programming. Our goal this year is to raise that number and fund 10,000 fine art experiences for children for the 10th anniversary celebration. The museum reaches over 33,000 children annually, providing singular fine art experiences in a variety of ways.  Every single sponsorship for EnPleinAirTEXAS moves us towards that goal. Thank you for your consideration!

This event is the work of the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts and your donation is tax-deductible.
