Come and join us!  You’ll have fun, make a new friend, and enjoy a laugh or two.  Share your paintings, learn from others, pick up new techniques. You’ll find us to be open, friendly, and supportive. Anyone who is a paid-up member of DVAS can join.

There is no facilitator at these sessions. Many experienced artists attend and are happy to share their knowledge. We have fledgling painters as well as those more experienced. We learn from each other.  Don't be shy! We are a welcoming group, that shares a passion! What more wonderful and productive way of passing the winter months, than doing what we all love to do?

NOTE: we PAINT using all mediums (odorless, of course and… thanks for that!) Let's get painting!
