Call for Art - 2015 WVWS Calendar

Tomorrow is September 1st - the deadline for calendar submissions for the 2015 WVWS calendar. Since it is a holiday you actually have until September 2nd to e-mail your entries! We currently have 9 artists with multiple submissions. Get crackin'! Here is an example from Judy Sorton.

Delphi Paint out Highlights!

What a great day nine members of the Wabash Valley Waterclor Society enjoyed together at the Delphi Paint out.  Even a little morning rain did not dappen our spirits or halt our progress.  We moved from outdoor spots to a pavilion in the Canal park and kept painting.  Lunch at the Garden Gate Tea House (while the 1st Delphi Bacon Festival was happening) was yummy and fun.  After lunch Rena Brouwer gave us a tour of the new gallery space in the Methodist church while the Delphi Opera House is being renovated.  She invited Anita Werling, chair of the OHAB, and the delphi preservation society, to share with us the history of the Methodist church and progress on the Delphi Opera House.  Be looking for some of the paintings at up coming WVWS exhibits!

July Dinner Meeting at Sylvias

We had a great time enjoying dinner at Sylvia's Brick Oven this week.  the new paintings are hung and ready for the Friday Artwalk tomorrow night!

July Meeting Change!

We have a change in our July Wabash Valley Watercolor Society monthly program.  Next Tuesday, July 15th, we were to visit the new gallery in West Lafayette, Artists Gone Wild.  We are sorry to say that because it was not financially sustainable,  the gallery had to close its doors.  We wish Josh and Jake Kubisz the best for their art careers.

We will now meet at Sylvia's Brick Oven for dinner at 6:30, July 15th.  It is time to change out our art in time for the gallery walk, so join us for dinner and bring a painting that will be on display for July/August.  The gallery walk is Friday, July 18th.  For those of you that haven't had the Sylvia's experience - this is your chance to enjoy a great meal and see the gallery space their walls provide.  

See you next Tuesday - July 15th, 6:30, Sylvia's!
