We invite you to participate in this First Annual Auburn Art Auction, an outdoor art event in Northeast Indiana! Painting on the Square is open to any artist who creates using the plein air technique, in any medium.


Auburn, Indiana will host the art of J. Seward Johnson from June to September 2007. We invite artists to come, create, and enjoy. The sculptures celebrate the familiar of everyday life. We hope you will enjoy our town, capture everyday events, and share the joy art brings to people of every age and walk of life.

This event is being held in celebration of the arts--we're inviting the public to watch you create your masterpieces in this Plein Air Event!
