Parkersburg Piccalilli: An Artists' Takeover is coming to the Parkersburg Art Center on Friday, September 18, 2026. Imagine spending a day making things, meeting fellow creatives, sharing ideas, and picking up a few tips on the business side of art. Better yet, don't imagine it. Join the Art Center for Piccalilli.
This year's keynote speaker and one of the workshop presenters is Rosalie Haizlett, a West Virginia-based nature illustrator, author, and educator known for her watercolor and ink illustrations of the plants, fungi, and tiny creatures that call Appalachia home.
Your conference registration includes breakfast, a catered lunch, access to all Friday programming, and the opportunity to display your work in a Pop-Up Exhibit. You'll also have the option to register for extended workshops on Thursday. The fun continues Friday evening with Art After Hours, the opening reception for the WV Allied Artists Exhibit, food, drinks, and a chance to network with others from around the state and beyond. A full list of all workshop and add-on options will be available soon but mark your calendar now!
