PWAS Congratulations and Recognition December 2021

We at the Prince William Art Society would like to recognize our artist members that have recently been awarded or recognized at various art events, galleries, contests, etc that they have been selected for. This could include First, Second, or Third Place or have entered a juried art event and selected to appear in a show, a gallery, a studio, and of course, if he or she won a prize for it!

Give a Shout Out to the PWAS Members!

Sandra Lewin McClelland

I would like to recognize Sandra for her several years of service as the President of the Prince William Art Society and all of her dedication and determination, successes and contributions to the improvements and benefits of PWAS and its members. Her term as President will be coming to a close at the end of this month and I wanted to say, thank you for a job well done!

Herb Williams

Although not a member of PWAS, I would like to also recognize and thank Herb Williams of the Prince William County Arts Council (PWCAC) for his role for making Stonebridge happen - in working with the great folks at Stonebridge (JBG Smith) and opening Open Space Art. Herb and Sandra both worked tirelessly to prepare and open the space where PWAS members were able to submit art pieces to be juried into this show that just closed December 12th. It was quite a success for us at PWAS and for Prince William County.

Ana Quispe - our new PWAS President

Staci Blanchard - our new PWAS Vice President

Maria Briganti - our PWAS Secretary
