Since its founding in 1975, the society has sought to accomplish this through its annual national exhibition, which is recognized as one of the finest in the country. We attract some of the most notable artists of our day. Our membership includes dedicated artists from all over the United States and Canada, who share a passion for watercolor and seek an outlet for its benefit and expression. In an age when new products, materials and techniques continuously stream into the marketplace, it is natural to experience some confusion about how they fit in today's exhibition arena. To sort this out, it is helpful to distinguish between the two.
Watercolor refers only to the medium of watercolor paint.
This category includes a rather lengthy and growing list. Yet there exists only three whose unique purpose is to preserve and present transparent watercolor as a major medium. We are one of those three societies. There is a rich history in American watercolor painting that is being formed through this nation's watercolor societies. We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of each member to that end.
