The Mission of the Alabama Plein Air Artists (APAA) is to inform, encourage, and inspire through the practice and discipline of plein air painting by providing opportunities for the same.

APAA is a group of artists who gather at least 10 months out of the year to paint outdoors (en plein air) at various sites in Alabama and neighboring states.  Members are predominately from but not limited to the state of Alabama.  APAA consists of a Director, Advisory Board, and members who host paint outs and shows.   APAA GUIDELINES
