January and February, the South Carolina Watercolor Society (SCWS)
will host its annual Regional Gatherings with programs at ten
locations throughout the state including Aiken, Anderson, Beaufort,
Columbia, Florence, Georgetown, Greenville, Hilton Head, Rock
Hill and Spartanburg. SCWS members, ALL interested artists (non-members),
art patrons, and the general public are invited to attend, free
of charge.
The SCWS Regional Gatherings not only provide an educational program
but also offer an opportunity for artists and art patrons to get
together on a local level, share expertise, network with fellow
artists, exchange ideas, get some artistic feedback ... and just
visit with some friends. Each program will open with a social
gathering and refreshments will be served.
