A Long Tradition

Established in 1900, the Philadelphia Water Color Society has been supporting artists working with watercolors and other media on paper ever since.  We do this through exhibitions, workshops, demos, and other means of community support.

Join Us

The Society currently enjoys the participation of nearly 500 members from the greater Philadelphia area, elsewhere in the United States, and from around the world. Membership does have its benefits.
