2021 Try and Try Again

Looking back on all the things that didn't happen last year is a bit daunting. Let us learn from the lessons of the past and push on to brighter days of plein air painting. I am going to break down three hopes for our upcoming season.

1. Members Show. We are going to offer due paying members of the past 5 years free acceptance into this show. New members are welcome to join and partake in the show. Grab that link here or join at https://nbrandnerart.wixsite.com/wipapa
2. Membership. We would like to have dues collected for the 2021 calendar year. We have hopes to be able to get our website from a free domain into its own entity to promote our events and members to a wider audience while helping collectors, painters, family, and friends stay up to date. Included in the bigger plan is member workshops, paint outs, awards at future shows and much more.
3. Paint, Paint, Paint. While some of our favorite competitions are in the planning stages, others are full steam ahead. While the competitions are a great testament to our endurance it would also be great to see some more local paint outs. Let us know if you are willing to find a park nearby and invite some members to responsibly paint with. Grab some friends, a mask and your medium of choice and lets make 2021 a year of beauty!

If you are a member interested in getting more involved in the groups planning committee please reach out to Nathan Brandner at wisconsinpapa@gmail.com we are always looking for volunteers and leaders to help out.
