The American Impressionist Society, the dream and inspiration of Bill Schultz, was begun with only four members. Today it is thriving and growing with a national membership of 100 artists. The goal of the American Impressionist Society is to promote the appreciation of Impressionism through exhibitions, workshops and other media. Membership is open to all Impressionist artists and any one who would like to support Impressionism. AIS artists enjoy outdoor painting as well as figure and still-life painting in the studio.
Emphasis is always on capturing light and color.
This year s juror is Jane Heaphy, a professional Northern California artist. Jane began her color studies with Henry Hensche in 1983 and continues to paint in the Impressionist style today.
