Philadelphia Water Color Society
About the ShowApril 15 – June 1, 2026 If you are a PWCS member, this is an opportunity to showcase your work with one of the oldest and the most prestigious watercolor societies in the U.S., the Philadelphia Water Color Society. It is also a chance to compete for cash awards, and potentially, sell your work. This year's show features 224 works by 124 artists. In addition to watercolor, these works include acrylic, charcoal, colored pencil, graphite, gouache, pastel and a variety of mixed media. Many of these works are for sale. If you are interested in an artwork or an artist, use the form on this page and we will relay your interest to the artist. What happens after that is between you and the artist. We do not take a commission from any sales. | Award Winners
