View here Call for Entries: Yosemite Renaissance XXVI--Deadline: Nov. 13, 2010 Yosemite Renaissance is an annual juried competition/exhibition intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite.

Both representational and non-representational submissions are accepted. Entries may be in any fine art medium including painting, photography, drawing, printmaking, textile and sculpture.

About The Monday Morning Painters

The Monday Morning Painters are a group of plein air painters that was started several years ago by Patrick Fanning, a local Sonoma County landscape artist. The group paints mostly throughout Sonoma County, but has been known to venture into adjoining counties on occasion. Many of the artists who paint with the group today have been doing so since its inception.

There is nothing you need to do to join in the painting outings, except show up and paint, and to please be polite, as we are often on private property and need to respect all requests of the owners.

Join us every Monday from 9AM-1PM in the warm months and 12PM-4PM during the cold months. All media welcome. Critique is held at the last half hour of the outing. View schedule
