A message from the AKWS President
The Alaska Watercolor Society, like many other art groups, had to adapt our annual exhibition due to the pandemic. We changed our format to a virtual exhibition when it was uncertain when galleries would be able to open. I am heartened to see that even in this uncertain time, beautiful art is being created and appreciated. I hope that you will enjoy the paintings Sue Archer has chosen for this first Virtual AKWS Exhibition. If you have a chance to visit the 2 Friends Gallery in Anchorage, AK during August, you will be able to view some of the Alaskan artists’ work on the wall rather than on the screen. In the meantime, keep well and may your paintbrushes stay wet!
