With his dreamy voice and his calm manner, Bob Ross hosted the PBS show “The Joy of Painting” from 1983-1994. Although Ross died 20 years ago, he continues to be admired by his original viewers as well as a new generation that has made him a pop-culture and Internet sensation. Ross’ philosophy that there is an artist hidden in each of us is the inspiration for this exhibit.
Entered works can be of any medium (not just painting) and any subject that celebrates the joy of making art, especially ones that utilize the Bob Ross trademark statement that there are no mistakes in art, only “Happy Accidents.”
A series of painting workshops conducted by a certified Bob Ross instructor, Mark Saenger CRI, will teach painting in the Bob Ross style. All the works from those workshops can be entered in a special section of the exhibit for no extra fee.
