Black Hills Plein Air Paint Out-Hill City

Sep 25, 2019 - Sep 28, 2019

 The Annual Black Hills Plein Air Paint-Out gathers artists together to be inspired by the Black Hills' intimate scenes of granite outcroppings, prairie meadows, aspens and pines, lakes, and streams, abundant wildlife, and rich history.
