Live With What You Love: Waterway Art Association

Spruce up your space with artwork from the Spring Art Exhibit and Sale. The Waterway Art Association is hosting its 32nd annual event from April 24th through April 29th at Sunset River Gallery in Calabash, North Carolina. The show is free and open to the public during regular business hours from 11 am to 5 pm.

The Spring Show is judged, with numerous prizes offered that exceed $2000. This year’s judge is Janice Castiglione, a watercolor artist and illustrator with national experience as an illustrator for American Greetings, Random House, Disney, and Fisher Price. She currently teaches at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, North Carolina. The awards reception will take place on Friday, April 28th from 4 to 6 pm.

The annual spring show provides a place for members to exhibit and sell their work. It also supports an annual scholarship for graduating seniors of area high schools who wish to pursue the arts in their college curriculum. The NC Arts Council and Brunswick Art Council help support the many community outreach programs the Waterway Art Association provides.

Established in 1991, this nonprofit’s mission is to encourage artistic awareness and the enjoyment of fine arts and to stimulate growth both on individual and community levels. The organization fulfills its mission with art exhibits and shows, workshops, demonstrations, indoor and outdoor painting sessions, as well as trips to regional art venues.

The Waterway Art Association invites all artists to join this active group of painters working in various mediums. The organization meets on Wednesday mornings to paint and offers free demonstrations monthly. By providing channels for networking and communication, Waterway Art Association members can experience a creative environment for learning, sharing, and building friendships.
