WVAS Recent Past and Coming Events!

It's been awhile since this blog has been updated, but that doesn't mean that the Wabash Valley Artists Society has been inactive.

We just hosted a watercolor workshop, Saturday, March 30 given by Terry Armstrong. Fifteen enthusiastic artists spent the day learning to paint a water landscape. It was a great day.

Tuesday, April 16 The WVAS will be making a field trip to Twin Rocker Handmade Paper in Brookston Indiana. Founder, Kathryn Clark, will give us a tour of the paper making facility and tell us how their wonderful paper is made. There will be opportunity to shop for some of the beautiful handmade paper while we are there. Details to come!

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.
