  • The Plein Air Club is for the Bakersfield and Kern County community.

    Open to all!

    You do not have to be an artist to join the club, we like you as you are.

    Hosted by Madison Cowan, Bakersfield artist. “I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF MAKING GREAT THINGS. THE FIRST STEP IS TO TRY, THE SECOND IS TO DO.”

  • We are a group of Kern County artists and art lovers. Available to all ages.

    What is Plein Air? “En plein air, or plein-air painting, is the act of painting outdoors.”

    We meet once a month, occasionally more for fun, to create, make and connect outside in local areas to Kern County.

    Membership is free. Community is priceless.
