Summer 2027

The 2027 National Show will be our 50th Anniversary show. It was scheduled to be in Atlanta, unfortunately our venue cancelled on us at a relatively late date. As the year was already full at most venues, we were lucky to find space at the Quinlan Arts Center in Gainesville. As we had to delay the show until summer, we have elected to have both our National and Member show as a single combined show.

Stephen Quiller, “Ridge Light at Bachelor Crest”

Stephen Quiller, “View From Poxen's Ridge”


Our Juror and Workshop Instructor for our 50th Anniversary will be

Stephen's research and development of a color wheel for painters - called the “Quiller Wheel” - is now used by thousands of painters throughout the world.
