2008 Saturday Outdoor Painting Sessions

Join Us for Saturday "Paint RI!" Paint-outs

We encourage all RISW members to join the outdoor group for our monthly Saturday paint-outs scheduled from April through September. Painting together at inspiring locations in Rhode Island is a great way to build experience, network with fellow RIWS members, and develop work for the annual Paint RI exhibition.
