Dear Members,
Do not miss an opportunity to attend this program on August 13, 2026. There is still time to Register.
If you have any questions, please call Wendy Payne. 703-472-5862.
Dorothea Sandra is an international artist who lives and paints in the tiny town of Rogers City, Michigan. In early 2026, she was awarded a three-month stay at one of the world’s most respected and prestigious art residencies—the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, China. The Swatch Group in Switzerland funded her travel and accommodations. Dorothea was honored as an international artist, engaged in conversations and lived in residency with artists and writers from around the world, went to events throughout Shanghai, and got glimpses into the real China and its people. She will talk about art and international success, Shanghai’s past and present, living and learning about the work of artists and writers from around the world, and the real everyday life of China’s Shanghai people.
