https://thetorggler.org/
The meeting will still be the FOURTH Sunday of the month, from 2:30-4:30pm (unless otherwise notified).
IN THE EVENT THERE IS A CONFLICT WITH THE TORGGLER (UNLIKELY, BUT POSSIBLE) WE CAN STILL MEET ON ZOOM
email us at: pwcs.virginia@gmail.com Or use our: contact form
Getting to the parking lot for the Torggler is a bit convoluted. You will enter onto Avenue of the Arts from Warwick Blvd. Follow the road around, past a small traffic circle of sorts, stay straight. You will pass the POPE CHAPEL on your right (#24) and Saunders Plaza(#30). Directly ahead of you will be the Paul Trible Library(#31)
TURN RIGHT and continue down until you see the parking lot on your left (B)/(C1). You should be able to find a space there. It's a larger lot.
Walk across the street to the TORGGLER, enter and look around. Look UP too!
As always, the meetings at the Torggler are free and open to anyone interested in watermedia, or water based artistic creations.
JUNE PWS MEETING AT THE TORGGLER AT 2:30pm to 4:30pm
AMY Shawley, the GOLDEN PAINT representative will be showing the latest watercolor, acrylic, and other related materials. Amy has presented several times before and always does a great presentation and brings lots of samples. She always notes that she doesn't want to carry the samples home with her, so come prepared to get some really good items to try out and experiment with.

DON'T MISSTHE HUMAN FRAME: Prints by Leonard BaskinApril 15, 2022 - September 25, 2022Sheridan Gallery
This exhibition demonstrates Leonard Baskin’s use of the body as a vehicle for reflection, highlighting themes of mortality and morality in the natural world.
Part of a required practicum course for Art History majors, The Curatorial Project (ARTH 331), was directed by Charles Palermo, Professor of Art History. Students selected, researched, documented, and wrote didactic texts for The Human Frame from the Muscarelle’s growing collection of works by the important mid-20th century American artist Leonard Baskin. The exhibition allowed student curators the rare opportunity to work closely with museum professionals and conduct hands-on research for the collection. Read more about the student experience on the website.
