Painters from across the state of Iowa are coming to Madison County for a fascinating real-time art challenge. They will be assigned mystery landscape locations in the area and paint their assigned scene under time constraints all with a live audience. Sarah Pugh, the Executive Director of the Madison County Chamber of Commerce explains what this "Plein Air" event is all about.

Pugh says artist canvases will be checked and stamped on arrival and they will be assigned mystery locations. Without any preparation, artists will travel to that location and begin painting. And you can watch. At the end of their 4 hour time limit, they will be selling the art. You can experience the entire thing from beginning to end, and buy the result.
