Dear Members and Admirers of WAS-H,

We've had a busy year at WAS-H!

In 2022, WAS-H taught more than 730 students in 97 classes/workshops in our onsite classroom. We held nine monthly exhibits with 265 participating members. We hosted two major juried shows where 165 selected entries adorned the walls of our gallery.

More than 300 artists drew from live models on our upstairs stage, and we launched 34 virtual classes where almost 200 people learned art in the privacy of their homes. More than 160 members participated in our monthly paint-ins and we organized three "En Plein Air" events, where artists honed their outdoor painting skills.

We held our annual Art Fair in October for the first time in three years! WAS-H artists sold over 140 paintings at this one-day event.

We hosted two free weekly events: the Senior Class and Open Studio. More than 600 seniors and 300+ WAS-H members came together to paint and enjoy the camaraderie of this creative community.

It is amazing that we do all this with an all-volunteer organization! We are a charitable non-profit and can only continue our mission because people like you give. If you have sent in your 2022 annual donation, thank you! You can click THIS LINK to submit your donation online if you still need to donate.

A donation of any amount is very much appreciated!

Karen Stopnicki,

President of WAS-H
