Whiskey Painters of America Exhibition & Art Sale

DATES: August 30th – October 6th, 2022
LOCATION: Cuyahoga Vallery Art Center – Main Gallery

The Whiskey Painters of America (WPA) have been invited to participate in the 41st Whiskey Painters of America Exhibition & Art Sale held at the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center, 2131 Front Street Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221, from August  30th – October 6th. This popular annual exhibition opens on Tuesday, August 30th, kicking off the People’s Choice selection process. We invite the public to participate in our People’s Choice voting process that will select the top five Best of Show paintings on display.  Voting to conclude and winners to be announced at the Artist Reception on Friday, September 23rd.

This exhibition will display the largest collection of Whiskey Paintings for sale in one location in the world.  A Whiskey Painting is a watercolor miniature, no larger than 4” x 5” in size, and is created by dipping one’s paintbrush in some form of alcoholic spirits instead of water. The WPA was officially established in 1962, at Tangier Night Club in Akron, Ohio to promote the fine art of painting in miniature. To become a member of this exclusive organization, an applicant must first have a bonafide member of the WPA as a sponsor. The Whiskey Painters of America is the most unique and exclusive miniature painting society in the world.


Whiskey Painters Support CVAC’s Vibrant Pallet Scholarship Program

For this 41st exhibition, members of the Whiskey Painters of America (WPA) have elected to donate Whiskey Paintings to be raffled off at the conclusion of the exhibition.  The proceeds from these raffled items will be used to support CVAC’s Vibrant Pallet Scholarship Fund. CVAC believes that no one with an interest in taking an art class should be deterred from doing so because of cost. CVAC’s Vibrant Pallet Scholarship Fund offers full-class scholarship opportunities to students (2nd Grade – Adult) with an interest in art and a financial need. Raffle tickets can be purchased from August 30th through October 5th at CVAC or over the phone at (330)928-8092, 1 ticket for $10 / 3 tickets for $20 / 10 tickets for $50. Winners will be announced/contacted on October 6th, 2022.

Whiskey Paintings, the perfect décor for your home or office, generally sell for a minimum of $75 to as high as $1500, with the average selling price between $150 and $300. Thus, by purchasing a raffle ticket you have the potential to win a Whiskey Painting for as low as $10, while donating to a worthy cause.
