CAS Paint En Plein Air Student Competition Being a professional artist can be expensive. Buying professional grade equipment and materials can quickly add up which can be daunting for students. This often leads to students using lesser quality materials. The CAS Paint En Plein Air Student Competition is aimed specifically toward students for this reason. Three prize packages will have everything a student needs to get started- including plein air boxes, brushes, paints, mediums, panels, and more- encouraging them to get outside and paint!

A CAS Student in Need

Taryn Blackburn is a dedicated mother with a love for art. She's been dreaming about becoming an artist since she was a young girl and finally has the opportunity to study full time at the CAS this Summer.
She's saved up as much money as she could and moved her family from another state in order to receive the education she so desperately desires. But Taryn still needs some help. She has set up a fund at gofundme.com to try and raise only $850 more, ensuring her children, housing, and tuition are fully covered for the Summer.
