Missouri Valley Impressionist Society (MVIS) unifies and supports contemporary painters from the Missouri River Valley region, who are influenced by the historical Impressionist movement. This valley region includes the following states: Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. The society is made up of a network of artist, both en atelier (studio) and plein air (open-air) and comprises some of the finest artists in the region. The MVIS Annual Juried Art Show has become one of the premium group exhibitions in the Midwest. Featuring the work of its members, it is the organization’s largest and most competitive event. Each year, this national event changes cities across the region offering its members opportunities to exhibit their work in communities they may not otherwise.
