From the start of the annual Plein Air Quick Draw event on the Plaza Tuesday evening to the Friday night gala, the public had the chance to mingle with 35 artists selected from 132 national applicants.

On Saturday, the whole city was invited downtown for a day-long celebration with live music and hands-on art-making.

The Plein Air Sonoma Foundation supplements the arts budget for Sonoma Valley Unified School District classrooms.
