AIS 13th Annual National Juried Exhibition at Eckert & Ross Fine Art, Indianapolis, IN Judged by Kevin Macpherson, AISM Our Goal: “To promote the appreciation of American Impressionism through exhibitions, workshops and other media.” Membership is open to U.S. Citizen artists and other U.S. Citizens supporting American Impressionism. AIS defines “American Impressionism” as: The concern for light on form, color, as well as concern for brushstrokes. It allows equal latitude between these attributes, and recognizes not a single definitive element, but several factors, including light and hue, visual breakdown of detail, concern for contemporary life, and cultivation of direct and spontaneous approaches to a subject.
