Palm Beach Watercolor Society, Inc.
Founded in 1982, the Palm Beach Watercolor Society is a non-profit organization recently acquiring 501 (c) 3
status. We promote excellence and education in all forms of water media to its members and to the public.
Financial support depends on member's dues, patrons and contributed awards. The Society operates on a basis of
volunteer effort and members are encouraged to assist with various projects as well as serve or chair the committees
that run them.
We welcome the public to attend our free, popular, monthly demo-meetings on the second Thursday of the month, October
through May, at the Boca Community Center, 150 Crawford Boulevard, Boca Raton, at 7:00 p.m. Included in our program
are nationally known watercolorists demonstrating their skills. The public is invited to attend our exhibits and
educational programs. The Society cooperates with city and county groups in various art projects, such as
collecting new art supplies for "The Very Special Arts Program".
Two or more outstanding juried exhibitions are held annually, including the Member's Showcase and the Annual Open
Juried Exhibition (see listings of exhibitions on our EVENTS page). Our member's art is
also displayed in a program titled, "Art in Public Places".
A monthly newsletter is published, October to May, announcing exhibitions, calendar activities and membership news,
entry calls and other art news information, which can be seen on our NEWSLETTER page.
Our web site, www.pbwatercolor.org, contains comprehensive information on organization activities. Members are
offered the opportunity to add their work to our MEMBERS' GALLERY by obtaining their own
Gallery Page, which helps artists to achieve maximum exposure in the global marketplace.
A series of 3-Day Workshops is offered, featuring national and international instructors (see
WORKSHOP SCHEDULE), who also give a demonstration
at our monthly General Membership Meetings. The public is invited to attend these meetings free of charge as part of
our Outreach Program. Check out our MEETINGS schedule on this web site.
Each year, the Palm Beach Watercolor Society awards Art Scholarships to college level art students who are engaged in the
study of watercolor painting and related arts. Free two year membership is offered to full time college students
18 years or older.
Bi-monthly "Paint-In" and "Paint-Out" groups are offered to members and non-members alike. See
listings on our COMMUNITY ACTIVITY page.
