National Watercolor Society Links

One of the most important things an artist can do is to be aware of what other artists are doing. A great way to do that is by visiting the websites of art societies. Here are major watercolor societies. 

American Watercolor Society

http://www.americanwatercolorsociety.org 

Established in 1866, AWS is the premier organization in the United States devoted to the advancement of watercolor painting in the United States.  

National Watercolor Society

https://nationalwatercolorsociety.org/  

Founded in 1920 as the California Watercolor Society, the National Watercolor Society is highly competitive with more liberal definitions of watermedia than the AWS.   

Transparent Watercolor Society

https://www.watercolors.org/      

Founded in 1977 as the Midwest Watercolor Society, TWSA makes an important distinction between "transparent watercolor" and other "water-based mediums". It’s stated goal is to preserve and promote the unique character of transparent watercolor as a major medium. 

Watercolor West

https://watercolorwest48.wildapricot.org/          

Established in 1967 in Southern California, Watercolor West is dedicated to promoting and exhibiting transparent watercolor knowing that many other shows are open to works rendered in mixed media, acrylic, ink, collage, and opaque materials.

Western Federation of Watercolor Societies

http://wfws.org/              

In 1976, the New Mexico Watercolor Society joined with nine other Western watercolor societies to make a large and prestigious watercolor exhibition available at low cost to members of small and often isolated watercolor groups. Today, the WFWS includes over 5,000 artists in ten regional watercolor societies and guilds. 

Women in Watercolor

Entering Art Competitions

Café

https://www.callforentry.org
Before 35mm slides, artists had to ship their paintings to the exhibition to be juried into the show. If they were declined, they were just shipped back. Once portable slides were developed, first in celluloid, and then digitally, the images could be sent cheaply. Sites like Café  have made the process of entering even easier for both artists and arts organizations. By consulting Café, artists can find out about upcoming competitions, access the prospectus to find out the requirements for the competition, easily enter, and be notified whether their submission has been accepted for display.
