OPAS is about painting en plein air, French for “outdoors.”


At least once a month, our members meet at predetermined locations around the state. Our artists are actively engaged in painting on site, outdoors. We paint in all seasons and in all kinds of weather. Our program committee works with members to find out what and where they are interested in painting and seeks out new and diverse locations.

Dues:
     Effective January 1, 2008, anyone joining OPAS will receive the benefits of membership through the end of the calendar year in which he or she joins, unless he or she joins in December.  Anyone joining in December of a calendar year will receive the benefits of membership for December and the entire following calendar year."

Notice of Dues Increase: 2009 yearly dues will be $50.00
Lifetime Membership: $500.00

Members receive quarterly newsletters listing all of the activities OPAS has planned, as well as related activities and outings offered by various other organizations. Once you are a member, you will receive an email inviting you to join the OPAS List Serve to receive email updates on information. With members all around the state, e-mail is the fastest and easiest way to keep in touch, keep you involved, encourage you, and keep you painting!

Membership in OPAS is open to all. OPAS offers many levels of membership starting with our artist membership. You will find that a variety of other categories are available for student members, patrons and organizations who would like to help support our cause.

Many artists want to paint on location, but for a variety of reasons might not want to go out alone and paint? Some of you might not have painted for a long time; some of you may never have painted at all, but have always wanted to; some of you might want to paint and learn from experienced artists. You might have a child that loves art and who would like to spend time painting with working artists? We have members like you, and they enjoy meeting and learning from our more experienced members. Come and join us, and we’ll give you plenty of support and encouragement. If you’re not an active artist, or if you just want to support and enjoy the creative work of others, you will want to join us.

Working on location, and in full view of the public, our artists welcome the opportunity to expose the community to art in a completely unique way. Along with our art, we are used to being “on display.” Our artists are more than willing to let you watch. If you decide you would like to try your hand at painting, we have some art materials you may try for the day!

OPAS is planning events for the 2008 - 2009 painting seasons that you won’t want to miss, including paint outs, plein air art competitions, workshops, exhibitions and lots more. We invite artists and enthusiasts to join us as we continue to learn about art while exploring Ohio’s beautiful landscapes.

If you would like to make a contribution to The Richard Canfield Memorial Fund, please go to the registration form and you will find a space available for that purpose.
