A tour of WAS-H
The Jack Bowen Education/Exhibition Building
Members and guests enter, past an outside glass display showing the painting of the month, into a spacious gallery on the first floor left. This gallery is large enough to display to advantage the large yearly Members' Show and the important International Exhibit as well as the monthly Members' Shows, and holds easily up to one hundred paintings.



.The 31st International Show in the WAS-H Gallery.


And first floor to the right, a complete kitchen. At every reception, members and their guests are greeted at the door and progress through our buffet where they select beverages and sumptuous treats from the kitchen island, served from the well-equipped kitchen.

There is an elevator to the second floor state-of-the-art studio space designed for optimum classroom and workshop experience. This classroom is also used for a meeting room and for a reception room when large exhibits of paintings fill the downstairs gallery.


An overhead mirror, directly over the guest artist, reflects every step of the demonstration so that it is visible to the entire room. A slide screen facilitates the lecturer as he teaches both his methods and techniques of the great fine artists. Audio-Visual Equipment accompanies.


Students attending classes and workshops on the second floor find their work illuminated by daylight from a wall of immense windows as well as from technically planned indoor lighting.


Classes and workshops are arranged so that each artist has his or her own table and room to work with his complete set of tools and paints.


A counter with two stainless steel sinks on the second floor wet area at one end, and a coffee maker and microwave oven at the other. The sinks will be used to clean brushes and fill water containers. Storage cabinets are underneath.


On the first floor behind the office, a growing library where teachers and students can find examples of fine painting techniques.
