Leland Air set for May 23

The Old Art Building in Leland has announced the return of its signature spring event, Leland Air, on Saturday, May 23.

This 14th annual plein air tradition invites artists from across the region to capture the awakening northern Michigan landscape in a high-energy, single-day celebration of art and community.

Leland Air is a unique “wet paint” event that challenges artists to create original works in plein air (outdoors) throughout Leelanau County. As the afternoon approaches, the finished “fresh-off-the-easel” pieces are brought back to the Old Art Building for an art exhibition and sale.
