Our mission is to encourage and promote watercolor artists and to foster an awareness of water media on the Palouse. 

In 2016, PWS was honored with the City of Moscow’s annual Mayor’s Arts Award for “outstanding achievements in arts education.”  PWS’ long history of working with other artists and community sponsors to provide low-cost workshops, art opportunities for children, and public art exhibits was, in part, the reason for this award.

We welcome members of all artistic skill levels, from beginners to advanced.  Monthly meetings, at which visitors are always welcome,  provide an opportunity to learn from each other in a nurturing environment. Meetings are held at 10 am on the first Wednesday of each month, in the conference room of the United Church of Moscow, 123 W 1^st Street. Note: Masks are required at our meetings because of COVID concerns. Please email us for updates.

We critique each other’s work, view demonstrations on art topics, and share information from workshops. PWS also has a lending library of art magazines, instructional books and DVDs. 

Please contact us for more information. Thanks for your interest in our group, and we invite you to join by sending in a membership form. (note: dues for 2021 and 2022  have been temporarily reduced to $20 because of some meeting cancelations due to COVID concerns..
