Cape Ann Plein Air with Susan Coviello

Jess and Tim interview Susan Coviello, the Executive Director of Cape Ann Plein Air.  They do a deep dive into festival organization and discuss the history of CAPA, best practices, the importance of social media, and some of the challenges that festival organizers face (particularly the weather).   Cape Ann Plein Air’s (CAPA) mission is to preserve and promote Cape Ann’s legacy as the birthplace of American Plein Air painting, and enhance our local economy. This is made possible through the close collaboration of committed supporters from across the region —  businesses, regional arts and cultural organizations, and the Cape Ann communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Essex and Manchester-by-the Sea — working with CAPA organizers to offer a robust, weeklong program of painting competitions, exhibitions and education.   Follow Cape Ann Plein Air: Official Site Facebook Instagram YouTube   Follow Plein Air Easton: Official Site Facebook Instagram YouTube   To inquire about being a guest or sponsoring the Plein Air Easton Podcast, send us an email at info@pleinaireaston.com.   This episode is sponsored by JFM Enterprises, providing distinctive ready-made and custom frames & mouldings to the trade since 1974.   Music in this episode was generously provided by Blue Dot Sessions.
