Painting Plein Air - WVAS June Program

Does painting outdoors seem intimidating? Here is your chance to "dip your toe in the water." Tuesday, June 16, 7:00pm at the Lafayette Art Museum, Jerie Artz will share tips on painting "plein air" and you will have the chance to go outside and paint. Bring supplies for the medium you enjoy working with, a camp chair, or TV tray, or easel, or just come and find a rock to sit on, but the demo will be watercolor. Try it - I think you will like it!

THEN - Saturday, June 23, WVAS is hosting a plein air paint out
at Cynthie's home, 1301 Center St. Lafayette, call Marilyn Martin for details, (574)274-6861.

Our Goals

1. To offer opportunities to learn new techniques through workshops, demonstrations, plein air paint outs, field trips, and media presentations.

2. To foster opportunities for artists to exhibit their work through shows both juried and non-juried, as well as other community local venues.

3.To publicize WVWS and other art events and opportunities through meetings, social media and traditional media.

4. To create accessible opportunities for young people to explore art.

5. To sustain a vibrant organization through active member participation in monthly meetings and collaborative leadership using individual talents.

Our History

The Wabash Valley Artist's Society began as the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. After much consideration, the board and members voted to expand the organization to include multi- media, acrylics, oils and pastels in addition to watercolor, effective January 2015. The former WVWS, now the WVAS, has a rich history in the Lafayette, Indiana region. Local artists, in search of information, an opportunity to share their interest in painting, and the chance to exhibit their work, formed the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society in 1989. Many of the founding members were students of Barbara Gresham from the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette). The inspiration and challenges of her teaching were the catalyst that sparked the society’s formation.
