Women Painters West
To start fresh again -
Awakenings frame arts soul
Winter comes, soft air.
Women Painters West is pleased to announce its first exhibition of the 2004
Season, 'Winter Awakenings,' which opens January 3 through January 29 at the
LA Artcore Brewery Annex. The show will be juried by Scott Canty, Director
Curator of the Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Park, and Awards presented
at the Reception on Sunday, January 11th between 1:00 and 3:00PM.
WPW exhibitions continue to be of the highest quality largely because of the
juried selection process. A recent juror list includes Renee Amitai, Molly
Barnes, Joni Gordon, Don Lagerberg, Louise Lewis, and LA Artcore's Gallery
Director, Lydia Takeshita. Comments by jurors and reviews describing WPW
shows as 'reflective, poetic, elegant. . .with aspects of color abstraction,
minimalism, expressionism, modernism, and cubism. . .connecting cultures
across the millennia,' truly seem to capture the diversity, depth,
versatility, and creativity of the WPW artists and their artwork.
Three additional WPW shows are scheduled for 2004, each with a seasonal
theme, to be held at the Pacific Palisades Library, The Folk Tree Collection
in Pasadena, and The Brand Library Art Galleries in Glendale, respectively.
Exact show dates to be announced in Artscene at a later date.
WPW, founded in Laguna Beach in 1921, holds most of its shows in the
LA/Southern California area and has over 200 professional women artists who
work in all mediums. Many members are award-winning artists recognized and
honored nationally and internationally. Outstanding guest speakers are
featured at their monthly luncheon meetings including Sam Messer, Astrid
Preston, Tom Wudl, with Lita Albuquerque on the horizon for 2004. In
addition, WPW provides annual scholarships to emerging artists and offers
philanthropic aid to the community. Membership is by application only. For
