Christmas Ornaments!

This year the WVAS is enjoying a collaboration with the Haan Museum. At our November 15th meeting we will create holiday ornaments to decorate one of the Christmas trees that will be on display at the Haan that will be on sale to benefit the museum. All are welcome to attend - materials will be provided.

Tuesday, November 15th
7:00 - 8:30pm
The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette studio

The Haan Mansion

We will be decorating wooden ornaments with styles that reflect our individual art. Here are some I have created with recycled watercolors. The disks are primed and ready to paint with acrylics or other materials that you might want to use. Acrylics provided. If you have materials you would like to bring, please do!

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.
