Post 488: PWAS Artist Members Reveal Their Artwork

PWAS Artist Members Reveal Their Artwork

The Prince William Art Society nonprofit artist group meets regularly on the 4th Monday of each month at the Tall Oaks Community Center at 12298 Cotton Mill Drive, Woodbridge, VA at 7:30pm. We typically have a guest speaker/artist giving a program, demonstration, or presentation on artistically what they do. We've had some awesome programs over the years, but periodically, we change things up.

PWAS Meeting Monday, August 26, 2024

Our guest programs have been really informative and often quite fun over the years since I've been a member of the PWAS art group. We've had every medium covered - oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, and mixed media. The members have been introduced to gel plate print making, plein air painting, photoart digital art, art commissions, the use of gold leaf and sparkly paint, and so many other art topics and artist's works. 

An in the spring, a meeting is set aside to award a scholarship to a qualifying high school student or two. In December, we forgo our usual meeting day, time and occasionally place to have a PWAS member plus 1 Christmas party. But occasionally, our program may go in another direction altogether.

So at this past Monday's PWAS meeting, we introduced a totally new idea. Each member attending was requested to bring in a recently completed art work. Tom Payne, our PWAS Member-At-Large, videoed the Member Art Reveal. Here are some photos of the photos and behind the scenes of our Art Reveal session. I'm looking forward to seeing the videos when they are ready!

I wasn't able to capture every single PWAS artist that came and not all artists brought artwork. Nonetheless, I'm liking this change up to "the usual". How about you? We'll have to do this again!
