“AIS presents our annual exhibitions in different locations throughout the US. When selecting where to hold our exhibitions we search for galleries that embrace Impressionism paired with interesting and inspiring scenery for our artists to paint” remarked Liz Ahrens, AIS Executive Director. “The Brandywine Valley is steeped in history, is home to distinguished museums, boasts thousands of acres of gardens, and is easily accessible for many of our members. Somerville Manning Gallery is highly respected and located in a historic mill” continued Ahrens.
