About The National Watecolor Society (NWS)
The National Watercolor Society is one of the most venerable of watercolor
organizations having been founded in 1920 as The California Watercolor
Society. Fueled by the emergence of the "California Watercolor
Style" which influenced greatly popular interest in the medium,
it grew in scale and stature becoming the California National Watercolor
Society in 1967. Finally it was re-named simply The National Watercolor
Society in 1975.
The group has held an annual exhibition for the past 90 years, utilizing
various California museums and galleries. In 1993 it acquired its own
building in San Pedro, California, which will house the 2010 event along
with a special exhibit of paintings by past presidents as part of the
90th anniversary celebration.
In addition to its exhibiting role, NWS also devotes much of its efforts
to educational pursuits as well. Slides from its annual exhibitions
are available to art groups and educational institutions through a rental
program, while its traveling shows visit collegiate and public galleries
and museums throughout the United States and Canada. Paintings from
the NWS permanent collection have been displayed in various venues as
well. Workshops and classes are also held on a regular basis for students
and professionals wishing to continue their growth in the medium of
watercolor. Associate Memberships are available to anyone interested
in watercolor, but signature membership is available only through a
selection process.
