Artist Vladislave Yeliseyev stands with his body of work from the 2017 Adirondack Plein Air Festival
The 9th Annual Adirondack Plein Air Festival recently wrapped up with a first-time participant taking home the grand prize valued at $2,200. Who joined this artist in victory, and what did they receive? There’s only one way to find out…
Beautiful Saranac Lake, New York, was the scenic setting for the 9th Annual Adirondack Plein Air Festival, which saw 50 artists juried from 90 applicants compete over five days painting the forests, lakes, mountains, and communities around the Adirondack mountains. Vermont artist Aline Ordman was this year’s judge, and she awarded a first-time participant top honors.
Whom did she choose? It was the incredible Vladislav Yeliseyev, who’s had himself a wonderful year of mopping up competition after competition. His paintings earned the artist a $1,000 cash prize, a Featured Artwork ad from PleinAir magazine, a night’s stay at the Hotel Saranac, a frame and panel from Ampersand Boards, and a set of Golden QR watercolors — a total value of $2,200. Ordman indicated she wanted it to go to Yeliseyev for his entire body of work on display.
