Education: Evergreen Association of Fine Arts Members enjoy monthly meetings with professional artist presentations, an opportunity to participate in an art critique session and to showcase your latest art work as well as meet other artists.

Practice: A spring through fall Plein Air painting program at locations around Puget Sound gives EAFA artists a chance to practice in the open air with artists. All levels of art expertise are welcome.

Exhibitions: Since 1986 we have exhibited members artwork through the Healing Arts Program at Overlake Hospital. We currently exhibit in four different areas and the exhibits rotate on a quarterly basis. EAFA has coordinated with two local libraries to exhibit art, Bellevue Public Library and Newcastle. These venues change art on a quarterly basis. There is also a chance to showcase your art on-line in our quarterly members exhibit on the EAFA website.

We collaborate with other arts groups to organize an annual juried exhibit in a location in the Puget Sound area.

Scholarship: Evergreen Association of Fine Arts is a 501c3 organization and we hold an annual Artists Rummage Sale to raise donations for a scholarship to an educational charity.

MEETINGS

Our member meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month from September through May. Please see here for our NEW MEETING LOCATION at Crossroads Community Center.

EAFA Welcomes November Guest Artist Roger Whitlock

November 12, 12:30 to 2:30 pm,
Crossroads Community Center

Roger Whitlock has been painting watercolors since 1985. A Seattle native, with degrees from Whitman College, the University of Chicago, and the University of Washington, he lived in Hawai’i between 1970 and 2016 when he returned to the NW. He is a signature member of the Hawai’i Watercolor Society and the Northwest Watercolor Society. His work has appeared in Watercolor Magic and Watercolor Artist as well as in numerous solo and group shows in Hawai’i, on the US mainland, and abroad (Taiwan, Korea, and Brazil). In Hawai’i, he taught English (writing and literature) at the University of Hawai’i until 2001, when he took early retirement so that he could paint full time. At that time he also began to teach watercolor classes and workshops at the Honolulu Museum of Art School. He lives in Edmonds, Washington.
