MVIS was organized to promote the appreciation and development of Impressionism in and around the Missouri River Valley region. Members hail from Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.

Artist members work in a variety of media. MVIS is one of the few organizations in the Midwest that embraces the method of painting en plein air (outside painting). The organization hosts a number of plein air paint outs each year. Learn more about the organization on its website.
