Join Crooked Tree Arts Center for a wine and hors d'oeuvres reception in the galleries to view the AIS Impressions Small Works Showcase...it will be the perfect welcome event for our members and a chance to meet with potential collectors! CTAC is providing two complimentary tickets to each AIS member in attendance. Please RSVP for yourself and guest, if any, NO LATER THAN MAY 29TH due to catering deadline.

This is a wonderful opportunity to watch two master artists demonstrate their techniques! AIS Master Camille Przewodek and AIS Signature Member James Richards will be giving a painting demo side by side on stage. Free and open to the public, however please register so we have a count. 

Both are also teaching workshops on June 6th and 7th. As of 4/20 Camille's Thursday workshop is full but there is still room in her Friday workshop (outdoor figures in the landscape). James Richards' indoor landscape workshop still has a few spots available but they will go fast...for more information on the workshops and how to register follow this link:

This short presentation by AIS officers and board members will cover an overview of the American Impressionist Society, who we are from our history through where we are today, to future plans. We will discuss the results of our member survey as well. We hope you'll join us to learn more about your AIS organization! Bring your suggestions and questions. Free and open to the public.
