“Ventures in Art” Member Exhibit
West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) will host an exhibition of works by eight artist-members of the Ventures in Art group. WPCA will host the exhibition of works in the Gallery at the Center, West Plains Civic Center from January 16 through February 19, 2022. The Gallery, on the mezzanine, is open to the public during regular Civic Center hours.
“We are excited to exhibit this group of outstanding local artists,” say organizers. “We anticipate a diverse group of pieces, reflecting the artists’ impressions, reflections, and visions.“
The “Ventures In Art” group mission is to encourage and support members in their artistic interests. The group meets weekly to discipline themselves to paint on a regular basis and presents a monthly art activity geared toward developing skills.
Membership is open to those interested in developing their artistic skills in a social setting. They meet Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to noon at the First Christian Church, 422 West Main Street in West Plains, MO. Contact Karen Canby via [email protected] for more information.
