Kevin Macpherson, Kenn Backhaus, Joe Anna Arnett, and James Asher—four professional artists who are featured in the new PBS series Passport & Palette—will all leave their particular corners of the country to convene in Central Park this Saturday, July 18, for a day of plein air painting. This New York City Central Park Paint-Out will take place from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (rain date July 19) at Bethesda Terrace, between the Angel of the Waters sculpture and the Lake.
