The Pennsylvania Watercolor Society - In March of 1979 twelve watercolor artists, led by Nick Ruggieri, met in a backroom of the State Museum in Harrisburg and founded the association we know today as the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society. Initially named the Pennsylvania Society of Watercolor Painters, the name was changed to our present title in 1987. The founding artists sought to create an association that would support and advance the watercolor medium for artists while promoting the beauty and appeal of watercolor to the public. PWS is a non profit (501)(c)(3) organization supported by member dues and donations from the public. These collected dues allow the society to sponsor the nationally acclaimed annual Juried Exhibition and the members' only show, produce a newsletter for the members at least four times a year, host yearly workshops that many times feature a nationally known instructor and provide awards for our exhibitions.
