Founded in 1913, the group focuses on the plein air landscape painting tradition and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.. HistoryIn 1913, Washington painters Charles Seaton and Winfield Scott Clime began going on painting outings together. Soon, the group expanded, and by 1916 a regular group of landscape painters called the Ramblers were meeting. In 1919 they named themselves the Landscape Club of Washington, and met in the home of Florida Senator Duncan U. Fletcher. They held their first exhibition in October 1919 at Fletcher's home,[1] could continue to exhibit there until the 1920s.[2] During World War II the group meetings declined, with occasional exhibitions still being held. The group held an annual banquet starting in 1927, only to stop holding it during World War II. It wasn't until 1976 when another banquet was held, and in 1996 the event became a steady event once again. In the 1950s selected members were outspoken about their dislike of modern art, and membership and press coverage fell during the 1960s and 1970s. In the mid 1980s activity increased again with an expanded exhibition schedule, more excursions and a number of memorial prizes being established. The group changed its name to the Washington Society of Landscape Painters in 1986, with the group hosting large painting on location events and member critiques quarterly. Historically, the group was only for male painters, in 1993, to commemorate its 80s birthday, the membership was opened to women.[1] Notable exhibitions
