We are a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote the art and excellence of watercolor painting. Our members include many instructors who teach at all levels and artists who exhibit at prominent galleries, museums and in nationally acclaimed shows. Some serve as jurors; others give demonstrations and programs for art and community groups.
