Our History
SW Washington Watercolor Society was formed in 1979 in Vancouver, Washington. The organization's 12 founding members offered a call to watercolorists in the following Southwest Washington counties: Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat, Lewis, Pacific, Skamania and Wahkiakum. The membership has grown steadily, and now numbers over 150 artists. Members of the SW Washington Watercolor Society participate in national and international exhibits, have received national awards, and have published works in books and other print media, as well as on the Internet.
