Paint the 'Ville Closes with Award Winning Art of Warrenville

The Historical Society was excited to welcome Paint the ‘Ville artists and the general public to the Museum last Sunday, December 8th, for the closing reception of our 2019 Paint the ‘Ville plein air painting competition. During the summer of 2019, inspired by Warrenville's Adam Emory Albright, eleven plein air painters painted historic Warrenville scenes in the first Paint the 'Ville. The artworks were exhibited at the Museum this fall, co-curated by artist Maggie Capettini. Thank you to all of the participating artists: Edward Corkery, Tina Druce-Hoffman, Carolyn Dunn, Pamela Hamilton, Kuhn Hong, Priscilla Huang, Kathi Kuchler, James Kullman, Irene Peterson, Julie Skoda, Jean Yang.

We would like to congratulate the following artists for their award winner works. To see all of the amazing artworks creating during this program please visit our Facebook Page here. Paint the 'Ville was held thanks to a City of Warrenville Motel Tax Fund Grant.
