February 20, 2015 Program - Painting Winter

A word from our president - Ladonna Vohar
Hello everyone,

Our program for January was going to be about Carol Carter's fabulous workshop in October. Jerie Artz was going to head that up, but she had to leave town because of family issues, so we are going to reschedule that for our program in February. So we had to come up with another idea for our time together on Tuesday the 20th. Since it's winter and snow is abound, we thought it would be fun to experiment with painting snow. Snow is one of Marilyn Martin's favorite things to paint, so she is going to share with us some of her fun techniques. Bring your paints and paper if you like and paint along. Maybe some of you will have techniques to share as well.

Also, I am co-chair for the Women's Art League fashion show. We want to give the women that go to the show a token gift, and we thought a hand painted greeting card would be lovely, so I would like to ask if any of you would be interested or willing to paint cards to donate for this. I'll be bringing the cards for painting, and you can either paint on Tuesday or take one home to paint.

Join us for a night of talking, playing, watching and learning, and just having fun with art! Feel free to bring your recent work to share either just to show or ask for critique.

Cheers,
LaDonna, Pres

Call me with questions 237-1252, or email me

We desperately need someone to take over as secretary. Marilyn will be happy to guide you as to how and what it consists of. I'm hoping someone would interested in taking this on. Please let me know if this is something you would like to 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.
