The National Watercolor Society is one of the oldest non-profit artist-led societies in the United States. Our mission—encouraging innovation in watermedia through education, outreach, and exhibitions—promotes the advancement of watermedia and inspires the next generation of watermedia artists.  We achieve our mission by providing our artist-members, guests, youth, and the viewing public with the opportunity and space to meet, share, and collaborate nationally and internationally through demonstrations, workshops, lectures, exchanges, special exhibits, on-line platforms and any other means available to us.
