THE ALASKA WATERCOLOR SOCIETY

The Alaska Watercolor Society was formed in 1974 as a not-for-profit organization to help promote the knowledge and understanding of professional watercolor painting in Alaska. The Society sponsors an annual juried watercolor exhibit that is open to all Alaskan residents and members of the Alaska Watercolor Society.

The General Membership Meeting honoring past Presidents, held in March 2001

: Since the primary objective of the Alaska Watercolor Society is to promote public awareness and knowledge about watercolor painting, we welcome all interested individuals to become Associates and Student Members of the Alaska Watercolor Society. Associates may join at any time, may attend all meetings and participate in most events sponsored by the Society.

Past presidents were each awarded a plaque from the Society and then they graciously shared their history with the group. It was an informative and interesting evening.
