his summer is the Sixth Biennial Cashiers Plein Air Festival, now Easels on The Green, an art competition and sale featuring nationally acclaimed painters from throughout the country. Plein air is French for “open air.” More than 20 invitational artists will set up their easels to capture the beauty of the North Carolina Mountains July 10-17. Their original art is displayed for viewing and sale at a pop-up art gallery at The Lewis Hall at The Village Green on Frank Allen Road in Cashiers. The artists’ medium, technique and subject matter are varied but every canvas highlights the unique landscape and lifestyle of the area. Special events, ticketed events, and a gallery open to the public showcase their art. Festival artists will present live demonstrations and offer insights into their methods for painting. A sneak peek and ability to purchase art before the Festival Gallery at the Private Benefactors Preview Party on Wednesday, 34 | Events at The Village Green 2022
