Western Federation of Watercolor Societies
 |
The WFWS was formed in 1976 by the New Mexico Watercolor Society and included nine other watercolor societies. The purpose was to make a large and prestigious watercolor exhibition available, at low cost to members for small and often isolated watercolor groups. Visit the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies' web page at www.wfws.org. |
Today, the WFWS includes over 5,000 artists in eleven regional watercolor societies and guilds. The WFWS encourages and recognizes artistic excellence and works to increase visibility of watercolor as an artistic medium through our annual juried exhibitions. The exhibitions are sponsored by WFWS and hosted by a regional member society. Delegates meet annually (usually at the current show) to conduct general business and discuss the next year’s plans. Each society hosts the show on a rotating basis.
The SDWS Western Fed Delegate is Ralph Kingery. Ann Slater is the Alternate Delegate.
In preparation for SDWS hosting of Western Fed in 2019, the SDWS Board of Directors has establised a 2019 Western Federation Show Steering Committee. Gay Weston is the Project Manager.
