Haywood County Arts Council in Waynesville, NC, Features Exhibit of Watermedia Works

The Haywood County Arts Council in Waynesville, NC, will present an exhibit of works by members of the Blue Ridge Watermedia Society, on view in Gallery 86, from Apr. 10 - 27, 2013. A reception will be held on Apr. 12, from 6-8pm.

The exhibit features work by members of the Blue Ridge Watermedia Society, a group with more than 100 members. Participating artists include: Wendy Cordwell, Nick DePaolo, Tracy Palmer, Carolyn Taylor, Joseph Honings, Lolly Krieder, Mary Reida, and Lynne Wortmann, Peggy Duncan, Mary Decker.

The Blue Ridge Watermedia Society group has grown steadily since it was organized in the early 1990s. Meetings of the Blue Ridge Watermedia Society take place at 6:45pm on the second Tuesday of the month at the Haywood Community College’s Continuing Art & Education Building. Members paint in a variety of media, not just watercolor as the name suggests. Members share tips and experiences, and local artists provide demonstrations and teach workshops of which members can take advantage.

The mission of the Haywood County Arts Council is to build partnerships that promote art and artists, explore new cultural opportunities, and preserve mountain artistic heritage. This project was supported by the NC Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.
