Thinking about joining the Spokane Watercolor Society? We are a non-profit organization consisting of about 70 members from Spokane and around the state. To accommodate for the pandemic, we meet via ZOOM monthly - usually on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Meetings begin at 9:30 am and are usually over before 12:30pm. We will resume in-person meetings when feasible. Like us and look for our events on Facebook @spokanewatercolorsociety. Members have access to much more information both on the website and on our members' FB page.
You are welcome to join us at one of our meetings to see what we are about. Request to attend here. We are a very welcoming group and enjoy meeting new watercolor enthusiasts.
Our ZOOM meetings include social time where we get to chat, see what others are up to, meet new members, and discuss the current challenge images submitted by members. Challenge participants are entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to Spokane Art Supply! Social time is followed by a short meeting and then a demonstration/presentation by well-known artists from inside SWS or nationally located. Members have access to past recorded presentations and demos on our private "My SWS" member pages.
SWS hosts several juried shows each year in the Spring and the Fall. SWS invites an internationally renowned artist to both jury the National Spring Show and teach a workshop. The Fall Show is also juried, but is a member-only show with an accompanying workshop. If Covid restrictions allow, in-person spring and fall workshops will be held sometime during the month of their respective shows. There is NO PRESSURE to show your work, but that is where the fun begins!
New member registration fee is $25.00 plus annual renewal fee of $30.00. Click on the Join/Renew tab for registration and payment information. (Online payments are slightly more - $32 and $55 respectively). After December 31, membership renewal will include a $10 late fee. We offer a pathway to Signature Membership - if that is part of your goal to belonging to a formal group - find more information here.
