The Plein Air Club welcomes everyone in the Bakersfield and Kern County community - no art experience needed.
Come as you are!

Hosted by Bakersfield artist Madison Cowan, who believes:
“We are all capable of making great things. The first step is to try. The second is to do.”

The Plein Air Club offers uninstructed time once a month to create, connect, and enjoy painting in local outdoor locations.

What is Plein Air?
“En plein air” means painting outdoors - or in our case to make outside together.

We’re a community of Kern County artists and art lovers of all ages.

Membership is free. Community is priceless.
