1982 - 2010

The Jacksonville Watercolor Society was founded as a nonprofit organization in 1982 to promote watercolor/water media as an important and recognized medium in the arts community, and to provide support as well as educational opportunities for the beginning to the professional artist.

Throughout the year, we offer a variety of arts opportunities including eight (8) monthly meetings each with demonstrations and lectures by renowned and/or prominent local artists - providing support and arts education for the beginner to the professional, and two three-day water media workshops with nationally recognized artists, such as author/artist Marilyn Hughey Phillis, Sue Archer, author/artist David Dewey, collage artist Sherry O’Neill, Fran Larsen, Mary Ann Beckwith, Janet Rogers, John Salminen, David Daniels, George James, Cheng-Khee Chee,Ted Nuttall, and Pat Weaver to name a few.

Membership also includes the opportunity to participate in two annual Juried Awards Exhibitions (work must be delivered to JWS we do not ship nor receive artwork via mail), and we strongly encourage volunteerism as well as Board involvement.
