We invite you to take a look at the wonderfully talented, exceptional artists competing in this year’s competition. Coming from all over the country (and internationally!), the artists will be painting our local scenery…rivers, farmland, marine views, and gardens, competing for over $25,000 in prize money as part of the 2026 Heart of the River Collection. View the collection at The Fine Arts Museum of Gloucester, June 15th through the 27th. Thirty highly acclaimed and award-winning plein air artists will participate.
