The plein air painter’s movement started in France in the 1800’s. Artists emphasized outdoor painting to capture the beauty and simplicity of nature as it was meant to be seen. The light at different times of the day. The shadows in the winter. Simple canvas and easel. Portable. Today artists across the globe carry on the plein air tradition. It is with that spirit in mind that we introduce Plein Air—the neighborhood.
Located in downtown Taylor, Plein Air is an old fashioned traditional neighborhood with a vibrant town square. The way it used to be before the automobile came to dominate our lives. Houses close together with front porches that encourage interaction with your neighbor. Sidewalks that make it easy to walk. Walk to dinner, the art gallery, a movie, a concert on the square. A corner grocery and soda counter. A place where kids can roam free and you call them home before supper. You know—the way it used to be.
Plein Air has its own sewer system, buried utility lines, master planned and maintained landscape system, and an active home owners association. Plans call for the entire site to have wireless high-speed internet access. A community shuttle will offer transportation to and from the Ole Miss campus and downtown Oxford several times per day.
