The Students of Beverly S. Mathis
February, 2026
This is an exhibit of over 30 of Beverly’s watercolor students. The show theme is “Crazy Color Critters.” The two classes were instructed to paint animal protraits but NOT with the natural colors. Bring the kids to this show; they will love it. Many paintings will be for sale, and would make a unique and fun gift for Valentine’s Day.
Come and meet the artists at the SALI Open House in Saturday, February 7 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM.
Visit the gallery during regular hours, Wednesday – Saturday from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM.

SALI at WAMMfest
On Saturday, August 17th several SALI members participated in the WAMMfest summer festival in Greenwood. Among other things they had a large canvas where people could add their artistic touch to an evolving painting. Lots of people participated, especially the kids, some coming back more than once. Click on the link below to see the beautiful masterpiece they created.
