RWC residents headline art show in October

The art of Marilyn Riggs

Watercolors are the star in the October art exhibition featuring works by Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury (RWC) residents this year. The annual show displays work they completed over the past year in longtime teacher Pam Bowers’ art classes at RWC in Irvington.

Many residents have been taking Bowers’ classes for the 15 years she’s been teaching, but there are some new faces as well.

Every student picks his own subject matter and works at his own pace. Bowers works with the students on an individual basis, although with new students she teaches a few techniques and encourages them to start finding their own ideas and style. 

Residents and community members are invited to view the exhibition 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily throughout October in Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury’s Gallery Hall. There will be a “Meet the Artists” reception 5-6 p.m. on October 8. It is free and open to the community.
