Merrell exists to share the simple power of being outside and we are looking to double down on that mission during Great Outdoors Month in Seattle. This time of year your art studio could be Denny Park, your work from home office could be a picnic table at Myrtle Edwards, or your kitchen could be the beach at Discovery Park. Join us as we enjoy all the benefits of being in the great outdoors right in the city of Seattle with a bunch of free activities to celebrate that truly Everything is #GreaterOutdoors...Plus RAFFLES at every event for participants.

What is Plein Air Painting?Plein Air is the act of painting outdoors (remember everything is #GreaterOutdoors) and allows artists to better capture the changing details of weather and light. According to Artists Network - Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape... The perfect expression and practice for Great Outdoors Month!
