Zentangles!

Thanks to Jan Wright, we had a very creative evening drawing zentangles on tiles with sharpies. It will be fun to see what the WVAS members do with this new technique!

March Program - Zentangles!

This Tuesday, March 15th, 7:00pm, TAF, will be a very fun evening! You are welcome to bring snacks to share.

March 15th, 7:00pm TAF, our special guest presenting the program is Jan Wright, who many of you may recognize from her shop on Main Street, "First Class Clutter." Jan is truly a renaissance woman, a creative florist, a shop owner, estate sale organizer and artist. Last summer she taught how to create Zentangles on white ceramic tiles at Fountain Park, Chautauqa in Remmington Indiana. She will lead us in a hands on art experience. Each person will leave with their own creation of a Zentangle on tile. Materials will be provided. Mark your calendars and invite a friend!

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.
