Key West plein air oil painter, Stephen LaPierre, will offer artists and art lovers a “paint the night” workshop:  Tuesday, February 24th and Wednesday, February 25th from 7-9:00 PM.

The free two-session workshop  includes basic instruction on how to prepare, plan and create your piece using only artificial light.  Attendees are asked to bring their own materials, along with an easel or a chair.

The group will meet at the Keys Energy Office parking lot at Eaton and Grinnell Streets.

LaPierre , a five-year Key West resident and a two-time recipient of the coveted Anne McKee Artist Award, was  honored in 2013 with a one- man show, My Key West Plein Air Novel, in the main gallery of the Key West Art and Historical Society’s Custom House Museum, followed by another one-man show in 2014,  A Tale of Two Cities: La Habana and Key West, in  the Tropic Cinema’s Gallery Space.

A few of LaPierre’s more recent Key West nightscapes can currently be seen at Gildea Contemporary Gallery’s show “Key West & Beyond” at 522 Southard Street.  For more information, or to register for this free workshop: 978 578 1546 or [email protected]
