The biggest news is, this is our new domain name and website. We felt that we needed a web address that more clearly identified us as an organization, not as a subdomain. So, pikespeakwatercolorsociety.org was born. We've developed new web page content as well, to try to make it easier to navigate the site and find what you are looking for.
We owe a big debt of gratitude to Dennis Palsgrove for managing the PPWS website for all these many years. Dennis is a signature member of the PPWS, and was one of the first members to join after the PPWS was founded. For as many years as the website at http://home.pcisys.net/~ppwsart/ has existed, Dennis has single-handedly done all of the work to manage and maintain that site. Much of the material on this new website came from the previous website. All of the hard work Dennis has done over the years has been without fanfare and, frankly, without proper recognition.
Dennis, this small tribute doesn't really begin to recognize you for everything you have done over the years to give the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society a presence on the internet.

Pandora's Box Exhibition
April 2010, Colorado Springs SchoolPandora's Box is a project we do occasionally (not every year), where we work with a local school. We and the students will work on art projects within a theme. It's an opportunity for the students to work outside of their normal curriculum, and it's an opportunity for our members to help local art students and also work a project not limited to watermedia.
This year, PPWS members have been working with the Colorado Springs School on the theme, "Exits, Entrances and Journeys." Both PPWS members and CSS students are making art pieces out of doors and windows. The finished pieces will be available for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to the the Colorado Springs School.
The exhibition of completed works will be in April 2010 at the Colorado Springs School, 21 Broadmoor Ave., 80906, 434 -3512, in the Performing Arts Center. Keep an eye out here and we will update you with exact dates and details.
