OVERVIEW
Members of Central Ohio Plein Air created 20 discrete paintings on buildings in the downtown core. The artworks were painted en plein air, a French term meaning "in open air," which refers to the process in which the artist paints a subject on location. In this case, the artists focused on sites in unexpected urban locations: side streets, alleys, parking lots, and nooks and crannies of the city. The paintings were meant to be discovered by pedestrians going about their everyday business.
