2016 Competition

Congratulations to the Over $16,000 in sponsored cash awards and over $10,000 in merchandise awards were presented on October 28, 2016 to talented artists of this year’s EnPleinAirTEXAS.

375 paintings were created in and around San Angelo, Texas during the 2016 EnPleinAirTEXAS and presented for public viewing and sale, resulting in another banner year for the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts third annual event.

Generous community support has helped bring EnPleinAirTEXAS to a major national presence.  In 2015, local arts patron Elta Joyce McAfee established an endowment to ensure the future of EnPleinAirTEXAS.  To honor her parents and family name, the Grand Prize is now named “The Elta Joyce Murphey Award”.
