WAS Art at the Lighthouse ArtCenter

Wellington Art Society was invited to a joint show at the Lighthouse ArtCenter. This show features the artwork from five different local art associations, including: the Lighthouse ArtCenter Artists' Guild; North County Art Association; the Artists Association of Jupiter; and the Art Associates of Martin County. Ten of our members showed their work under the WAS name, and two others showed under another association. (Yes, sometimes artists join multiple associations. It's all about making more connections.) On Thursday, June 21, a reception was held to honor the artists and give out awards.

Let's start out with some group shots of the art.

Now I'll show you every piece that was created by a Wellington Art Society member. This will give you an example of the breadth of talent in our group.
