  You're cordially invited to merge your passion for watercolor with the charm of the outdoors at the upcoming Rosé Soirée Wine Festival. "The Rosé Soirée celebrates all things light, flirtatious, and fun."  This delightful new gathering takes place in the enchanting surroundings of the Annmarie Sculpture Garden in Solomons, Maryland. Imagine setting up your easel among the vibrant spring blooms and majestic azaleas, all nestled amidst whimsical sculptures and serene woodlands. The festival is seeking plein air painters and outdoor artists to not only enhance the event with an artsy ambiance but also engage in lively conversation with the guests. Don't miss this unique opportunity to paint plein air, meet other artists and art lovers, and enjoy a day filled with beauty, creativity, and community.
