“A Sense of Place” at the Dorchester Center for the Arts features recent plein air works by the Plein Air Painters of the Chesapeake Bay (PAPCB). From boatyards to farmyards, and everywhere in between, this exhibit captures the essence of Maryland’s Eastern Shore — this special region where the members live and paint.

Since 2014, PAPCB has gathered weekly during the spring and fall. With their paints and easels set up on waterfront estates, historic village streets and working farms, they explore and document our region through their art. In varied and distinctive methods of painting, from loose impressionism and expressionism to a tighter realism, their mediums are oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, pastel, and graphite. One member even makes monoprints in the field!

Ranging from brand new painters of all ages to seasoned award winners, PAPCB shares friendship, camaraderie, and creative support, and welcomes all to join them.
