Post 276: PWAS Christmas Party 2022

PWAS Christmas Party 2022

The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) celebrated their annual Christmas party on Sunday, December 18, 2022 at the Open Space Arts Gallery (closed to the public). Traditionally, the PWAS December meeting is always turned from the meeting format to a PWArtyS! format.

Open Space Arts Makes a Great Setting for a Christmas Party!

I wasn't able to go this year, unfortunately, but it looks like a GREAT time was had by all and some of these pictures (thanks to all that took them BTW), really need captions...or an explanation. Maybe both!

The Nibbles: Food Feast

What happens when you put a bunch of creative people together and ask them to bring hor d'oeurves / appetizers to a party?

Here is what happens:

 

First place - Reindeer Platter from Sheri Herrick

Second place - Grinch Dip from Tom Payne

Third place - Charcuterie Christmas tree from Sheri Herrick

 

We should make this an ongoing tradition!

 

 

 

 

 

The Fun:

 

 

Door prize:

Thanks to Jeff Holman for donating the beautiful easel as our door prize.  Congratulations to Kofi as the winner.

Dancing:

Thanks to Cookie and Raymond Bell for providing the musical entertainment and dancing.  The Electric Slide and Cupid Shuffle were a big hit.  Next year Tony promised to teach us the Cleveland Shuffle.

Pictionary:

PWAS artistic talent was on full display during the highly competitive Pictionary game.  Congratulations to the red team for their brutal smack down victory.  Better luck to the blue team next year.  Tony will be selling prints of his beautiful rendering of a goat (or aardvark if you prefer to interpret it that way).

Decorations:

Thanks to the party committee for all the planning, setup, breakdown, and clean up.  It was a great party!
