Four GSWS artists collaborate to create four beautiful paintings. Paintings move from artist to artist, giving birth to four original works with a unique twist. Patrons mingle and watch as the works take shape.  At the end of the afternoon, four lucky guests will go home with an original watercolor created on the spot!

Participating artists: Angela Barbalace, Aida Birritteri, Judy Ballance and Marilyn Rose.
