The Florida Watercolor Society

The Florida Watercolor Society is the largest State society in the United States with almost one thousand members. It is our mission to promote the art of watercolor and to educate the public as to the importance of watercolor as a creative and permanent painting medium, while contributing to the cultural atmosphere of the state of Florida.

FWS’ main event each year is an Annual Exhibition, Convention & Trade Show every fall in various locations throughout Florida. FWS also hosts an Online Show for our Non-Signature members. Members in good standing may enter the exhibitions. At Convention, we host two 4-day workshops and at least one, 1-day workshop taught by invited internationally known artists. During convention weekend, demonstrations by noted artists are presented hourly, as well as critiques, silent auctions, raffles and a host of other wonderful activities. There are Member and Non-Member rates to register for the Convention, however, the Trade Show is free and open to the public.
