Members of the Holdenville Society of Painters and Sculptors (HSPS) volunteered time recently completing original works of art. Over 130 Holiday cards were completed by members of the HSPS on Mondays during weekly painting. Members completed the cards using a variety of media such as ink, colored pencil and watercolors. The cards were delivered by members of HSPS to residents of Boyce Manor and Heritage Village Nursing Homes to help celebrate the Holiday season. HSPS invites you to visit the gallery and view the original art pieces as you walk through at your own pace. Gallery pieces include permanent art as well as new pieces completed by members more recently with many available for sale. HSPS offers community events throughout the year including classes, art shows, and a summer art program.
