This annual traveling exhibition, organized by the American Watercolor Society, presents a carefully curated selection of works by many of the nation’s most accomplished watercolor artists.
The exhibition underscores the breadth, complexity, and expressive potential of watercolor as a medium. Spanning luminous landscapes, evocative portraiture, and dynamic abstract compositions, the works on view demonstrate both technical mastery and conceptual innovation, reflecting the continued vitality of contemporary watercolor practice.
The 40 paintings included in this exhibition were selected from the American Watercolor Society’s “International Exhibition,” held annually at the Salmagundi Club in New York City. Each year, more than 1,100 artists from across the United States and 32 foreign countries submit work for consideration. From this highly competitive field, only 40 works are chosen to tour nationally, offering audiences a rare opportunity to engage with outstanding examples of current watercolor painting.
Founded in 1866, the American Watercolor Society is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to the advancement of watercolor painting in the United States. Membership is conferred through a rigorous jury process and is widely regarded as a mark of artistic distinction and mastery of the medium. The Society’s distinguished history includes such influential members as Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, and Winslow Homer.
