Located in Slater Memorial Park in the historic JC Potter Casino Building, an old lakeside “boathouse,” the Watercolor Society has an art gallery, a number of art studio spaces, and an extensive art library. The Society is one of the oldest in the country, and it was founded in 1896. The gallery organizes more than 15 art shows per year, including the famous National Water Media Competition.
The Society also organizes a series of art demonstrations, classes on everything from watercolors to printing, and individual and group shows featuring one of its 300 members. The studios provide space for artists to practice their art and share their knowledge with both young and not so young students.
