Who We Are

See photographs from our Shows and Meetings

  We have approximately 100 members from beginners to professionals.

     We have writers, computer people, business people, medical people and, of course, professional artists and past and present gallery owners. We have come from all walks of life to share a mutual joy in self-expression.    Our Artists are Painters, Potters, Photographers, Jewelry Makers, a Hat Maker...and a sculptor.

The group started as a few artists interested in painting together twice a month.

From that core interest of communing with other artists, we have expanded to participating in local events such as the Holiday Tour of Homes, the CSOL, Showhouse in I'On and our Annual Show in May. 

The group meets monthly, usually on the 3rd Wednesday.Some of our meeting are held in the evening which gives us more flexibility in programming and allows our members who work during the day, to attend.  Besure to check the calendar for the time and location of the next meeting. Visitors are always welcome.

   

We work with Communities in Schools offering both personal interaction and  a portion of the proceeds from our shows.

We also work with The I'On Trust. The trust provides educational grants to our group and we offer a portion of the proceeds from some of our shows. We often participate in Trust events such as the Holiday Tour of Homes and Gardens of I'On.
We are supported by I'On Biznet, the business group in I'On. We received grants and business support from the community businesses. Some of our artists are members and/or particpate in markets and other Biznet events.
