Members join us on Saturday, July 19, from 2 - 4 p.m. for a plein-air watercolor painting and drawing class instructed by artist Wes Sherman. No experience is needed! Supplies provided. All skill levels are invited to an afternoon of painting along Voorhees Mall (on the Voorhees Hall entrance side of the building). If the weather does not permit, the event will be moved indoors for landscape drawing instruction in the Art of the Americas Gallery. This event is limited to the first 20 RSVPS. All others interested in attending will be added to a waitlist. Paperless Post invitations to follow soon.
