Artists from around the country will be arriving in Alexandria to capture the beauty of our everyday surroundings. Check our website farmtoforestpleinair.com for more details in the coming months.

The Alexandria Museum of Art invites you to celebrate their signature arts event, the Farm to Forest Plein Air Festival. This multi-day festival will bring artists to Central Louisiana to paint "en plein air" - outdoors!
