PWAS Program in the Bag
Monday, March 24, 2025. The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) meets once a month on the 4th Monday of the month. Our art group typically meets to not only discuss what we have going on - with the plotting and planning of our art events but we often have a guest speaker talking art. But occasionally, we do take a detour.
Mixed Up Media
For our program portion of the meeting on Monday, March 24 at the Tall Oaks Community Center in Woodbridge, every one grabbed a chair around a table. We had cards in front of us to create on and a bag placed above the card. Each bag contained various batches of "you-name-it-you-create-it" media. From colored pencils, markers, gel pens, charcoal, watercolor...anything could be in the bag.
Following various prompts read out by Emily Hawes or Donna Merchant, periodically the bags would be moved to the right, the cards to the left. Sort of a musical chairs with the artwork. Anyway, we all shared the creation of whatever happened at the table we were sitting at.
The variety of creativity was literally off the card.
It was a program we actually participated in - which is the point. And talking with our fellow artists. And meeting our new members too!
Here are some pictures captured...

We love having a change of pace, it does make the meetings even more fun. Thanks Emily and Donna!
After some time spent being creative, and the presentation of the Bluebell Challenge winner, the business talk portion of the meeting ensued. Updates, info, art shows, art grants, 2 art shows at the ARTfactory in May and June and so much more.
Miss a meeting and you miss a lot!
Did you have fun? I did!
