The Downtown Tuesday Painters group evolved from a series of basic art classes that were taught at the Douglas County Senior Services in 1974 but did not refer to themselves by name until about 14 years ago. The group has always been active and meets every Tuesday at DCSS's Lawrence Senior Center from 9:00 am to 1 pm. The group is open to all and most members are seniors but, as long as there is room, no one is prohibited from joining. There are no dues, and members provide and share their own art materials.
Mediums used by the Downtown Tuesday Painters include watercolor, oils and colored pencil, as well as mixed media and woodcarving. The group exhibits their artwork
locally every year at Babcock Place, the Lawrence Public Library and, of course, during the Lawrence ArtWalk in the Lawrence Senior Center's main lobby.
The group's members exhibiting their work during Lawrence ArtWalk 2008 include Jim Bennett, Ardis Comfort, Bill Grubbs, Wilma Lutz, Ann Martin, Joan Martin, Charlotte Neese, Julia Olivera, C.A. Peters, Millie Peters, Dar Williams and Joyce Witulski.
