We are a growing community of artists who enjoy creating art with water media. We strive to promote and encourage artists of all skill levels to grow and enhance their abilities. We do this through a positive and supportive atmosphere of art demonstrations, workshops, and exhibitions.
 
We invite you to get to learn about us through samples of our member’s artwork in our Gallery.
 
If you are an artist who enjoys painting with watercolor or other water based medium, we invite you to join us. Our membership is not just for artists.  We also have members who are just art enthusiasts who enjoy being a part our vibrant art community.  We welcome you to attend any meeting.  We look forward to learning more about your interests.
