Art lovers of all ages study the work of 50 painters who took part in Evanston’s first Plein Air Art Festival. Artists planted their easels around the city this week and then exhibited their work at a competition in Fountain Square. About 300 people voted on their favorites. “The event was incredibly well received,” said Lisa Degliantoni, executive director of Evanston Made, which produced the event. “People really love seeing live painting. They like seeing talented people depicting their favorite city.” Scott Lloyd Anderson, who travelled from Minnesota for the event, won Best of Show. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
