The South Australian Watercolour Society was founded in May 2012 with the aim of promoting the practice and enjoyment of watercolours.
Membership is open to anyone with an interest in watercolours. There is no hierarchical membership structure so the Society includes novices and accomplished artists alike with many of SA’s top artists included in the ranks.
What We Do
