Post 561: After the Meeting, Guest Speaker Delwyn Elizabeth

After the Meeting, Guest Speaker Delwyn Elizabeth

The Prince William Art Society (PWAS) has had some really great programs over the years at our monthly meetings. Monday, July 28, 2025 - on all kinds of art topics. We have had a artists demonstrating watercolor, acrylics, pastels, using Golden Art Products, art journaling, plein air painting, learned about photo art and digital art, packing for traveling, art business tips, made art with our friends. learned about art committees and commissions, learned more about each other, made "art reveal videos", had various art challenges, viewed monoprints being made, and awarded scholarships to name a few different topics. This past program was about hanging our art work in a local library.

Ever Hang Art in a Library?

PWAS, as a group, has hung art in several of our local libraries that have the space to do so. Namely, the Montclair Library and the Bull Run Library. But solo artists - if they have enough art to show in the space and it is approved, also can submit a form for processing. The wait varies per library as well as the available dates and space. Delwyn Elizabeth walked the PWAS members through the "how-tos" of applying.

If you would like to see a recap of past guest programs, do a search on the keyword "PWAS Meetings" and have a happy walk back in time!

PWAS Meetings

PWAS holds our monthly meetings on the 4th Monday of the month, every month except in December. The meetings are typically held at the Tall Oaks Community Center at 12298 Cotton Mill Drive, Woodbridge, VA which is on the corner of Hedges Run and Cotton Mill in the Lakeridge area. Hedges Run is right off of Old Bridge Road, where the Giant is. 

In December, we hold a member + one adult Christmas party with the date to be determined - and of course with so many very talented artists...we almost always have our own musicians as well. Talented people I tell ya! They paint, they draw, they sketch, they teach art. They make digital art, they photograph beauty. And on top of that, some of them make music too.

The artists cheer each others successes, and help when another artist has a question about art dilemmas they run into. We work together as a team at our art events and have fun in every way we can!

As you can see, miss a meeting and you miss a lot. Join PWAS today if you haven't already!
