June Paint Out!

Wabash Valley Watercolor Society

Paint Out at Tippecanoe Battlefield

June 21, 8 a.m. until ?

Join the Wabash Valley Watercolor Society at the Tippecanoe Battlefield to paint the beautiful scenery around the monument, park and Burnett's Creek. There are many lovely sites for painting including the small nature museum, the picturesque chapel, the monument, woods and Burnett's Creek. We will meet in the parking lot at 8 a.m. However, if you want to come later, follow the stairs beside the small brick Nature Museum down to the creek and you will find some of us. You can either bring a lunch or we can go to T.C.'s in Battle Ground. Suggested supplies are mosquito spray, suntan lotion, and a hat. Hope to see you there!

Plein Air Travel Journal Classes!

It's not too late to sign up for the summer travel journal classes that begin June 9th, next Monday morning! Download the registration form from my blog: www.jerieartz-artzart.blogspot.com. It's never too early or too late to try something new! Here is my 2 1/2 year old grandson painting plein air with me last week - although he more enjoyed painting on, his feet than on the paper!
Jerie Artz, Vice President, WVWS.

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.
