Regional Activities for 2026
We are grateful to have regional volunteers to organize a variety of in-person activities for PSWC members and guests. While it isn’t possible for our very large membership to meet in person on a regular basis, these activities supplement our in-person workshops and exhibitions, providing face-to-face interactions among members of our treasured art community.
