“Twice a year our in gallery exhibitions gives AIS the opportunity to immerse our members in a creative community. Our events are planned to highlight the engaging and sometimes little known views to paint or museums to visit,” says Elizabeth K. Ahrens, executive director of the American Impressionist Society. “My favorite element of the week is having our members who live in the area serve as artful ambassadors! Knoxville will welcome us with their spring blooms!”
