Twelve Years of Travels to the High Sierra of Ecuador by Ramelle Pulitzer

Thursday, November 17 at 6 PM in the Associated Artists Gallery.
Ramelle Pulitzer has followed many footsteps on multiple tours of Ecuador: from Frederic Church to Charles Darwin; and from Alexander von Humboldt to Simon Bolivar. "Following Footsteps: Twelve Years of Travel to the High Sierra of Ecuador" will highlight her travels among the dramatic South American vistas immortalized on canvas by such art historical luminaries as Frederic Church. Pulitzer is the Director of New View Tours, and is a past Executive Director of AAWS.


Join us for this lively discourse on travel, art and history! The event is part of Six Days in November.

Check out our new signage!

Thanks to the expert guidance of AAWS board member Maria Brockhaus, we have two beautiful new canvas signs promoting current exhibitions, programs and the Juried Member Artist of the Month! The canvases were designed by Marg Bleggi Doran, printed by Sharpe Images, and stretched/reinforced by Village Frame Shop.


There are two signs: one at our main Fourth Street entrance and one inside the Chatham Building Atrium.
