Welcome spring in Historic Missouri Wine Country with a visit to the quaint towns of Augusta and Defiance.  On any day from April 22nd to May 2nd, you are likely to find one or more artists wherever you encounter one of those incredible views.  Approximately 100 artists from Missouri and the surrounding states are expected to be participating in the 7th Annual Augusta Plein Air Art Event.You may want to sip some wine, you may want to enjoy a lunch, or you may want to wander the shops.  You are likely to get a chance to watch and wonder at the work of a visiting artist.  Many of the businesses will be sponsoring an event for the artists, during which they will be painting at that site and offering their work for sale.  It is indeed a unique opportunity to observe the work from conception to completion and meet the artist as well.The final sale on May 2nd will be held at the American Legion in Augusta.  This sale provides a wonderful opportunity to purchase high quality artwork from the artists themselves.Proceeds from this event sponsored by the Greater Augusta Chamber of Commerce are used to fund the Plein Air Scholarship for Augusta area students.
