PWAS Meeting Recap, Mon Jan 22, 2024
The Prince William Art Society meets on the 4th Monday of the month at 7:30pm at the Tall Oaks Community Center on the corner of Hedges Run and Cotton Mill in Woodbridge, VA. This past Monday, the art group met and covered a lot of the new plans and future of PWAS for its members.
New Board, New Art Shows, New Committees
Information was provided for a lot of the new art show events and other avenues for members to show their art. The Board is in search of people to fill positions and committees that are very important to help the entire group including a full time Treasurer, an Events Committee, Planning, Grants, Public Relations and Marketing Committees.
A signup sheet for committees was provided and we hope to have something on the PWAS website soon, as well.
As PWAS is basically a group of 'traveling artists' at the moment, the Board is actively in search of not only a new gallery/art space, but member encouragement to help with this much needed "PWAS HOME" for the membership.
Joining and rejoining the Prince William Art Society is now available to easily do online at https://www.princewilliamartsociety.com/membership (the preferred method as it is a safe and very convenient process).
To contact the board or a specific committee member, see the Board Members and Contacts page on the PWAS website.
Guest Speaker Janet Stoeke
Typically, our PWAS meetings begin with the invited guest speaker, followed by snacks (meet and greets) and then the business portion of the Prince William Art Society. This month's guest was Janet Stoeke who gave a very interesting program about how she creates the art she does.
Many questions were asked by the artist members that found her process fascinating, including her use of wax paper as a sort of pallet that she uses to begin a painting, pressing the brush handle down the paper and down her canvas to begin her trees.
Janet has also written 26 books.
