WELCOME!

Thank you to all the attendees, staff, and volunteers at this year's Plein Air Conference and Expo. We had a great time meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones. Lori Larue and I thoroughly enjoyed operating the Richard Schmid Publishing table, talking art, and distributing assorted chocolates to our visitors. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to share my father's story with the audience on the main stage. The presentation was a moving tribute to Richard. I hope to see everyone again at PACE 2025.

Warm regards,
Molly Schmid
