coming soon

This year’s Summer Challenge is “Food for Thought”. All the entries, and we hope there will be many, will be displayed virtually on our website and presented at the October Members’ Meeting which will be via ZOOM. An upload link will be provided for members towards the end of September with the ZOOM meeting taking place on Monday October 12th from 5:30pm.

The October Painter of the Month will be considered from entries submitted by Board Members and Officers. Voting will take place online with the winners being announced at the October Members’ Meeting. Full details to follow, including instructions on how to cast your vote.

As a new initiative, our first Fall Show will take place from October 14th to 18th at the Desert Arc Center’s Terry Masters Gallery in Palm Springs. This gives our members a second opportunity to display and sell their work. Because of the gallery’s size, members will be limited to one painting each with the cost for submission being $15. Again, we look forward to displaying, and selling, many of our members’ works of art. More details to follow. Click the button for an information flyer.

CVWS Artists collaborate with the local Pen Women League

Thirteen CVWS members chose photographs submitted by local photographers, coordinated by Diana Shay Diehl of Mojave Light Studio. These artists took the photograph home to interpret it. Then the art pieces went to the Pen Women, and they chose eight of the pieces to write either a poem or prose to go with the paintings. It was great fun and we hope to do it again. Enjoy the final products!
