THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3RD SCHEDULE Artists must be pre-registered and check in at the HAHA Museum between 8 am and 10 am to have their canvas or paper certified. All "Hermosa Art Out" artwork must be created “en plein air” (outside) within a 25-mile radius of the City of Hermosa. These will be the only works eligible for awards. We will have a list of willing land owners for artists who are looking for a specific topic to paint (old barns, windbreaks, corrals, windmills, outbuildings, cattle, horses, chickens, stock dams, creeks, views of the grasslands or the Black Hills, etc.). Fire danger is high: no smoking and no driving except on designated roads. Please be respectful of private property and ask permission. Thank you. HAHA Plein Air "Hermosa Art Out"
