**************************************************************
Our History
The Central New York Watercolor Society was formed in February 1982 with fourteen charter members from the central New York State region. The Society was organized with the assistance of Mario Cooper and his wife, Dale Meyers, both past presidents of the American Watercolor Society, as well as Clarence Say, and Dan Meyers, past presidents of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society.
The first President of CNYWS was Willard J. Sauter of Utica, N.Y.
The Central New York Watercolor Society promotes the joy of watercolor painting through annual exhibitions, workshops, watercolor and water media demonstrations, and other educational outreach.
We had a great 3-Day workshop with Guest Artist, Michael Holter (Oct. 16 - 18, 2024) Many participants were able to keep up with the pace and produce six paintings! Our Annual Meeting and Guest Artist Demo was on Saturday, the 19th, and a member email will be out soon with some of the highlights of that day. Some photos from the workshop can be found on our main Events/ Exhibitions Page. *************** Photos from our September Art Retreat are posted under the Events/Exhibitions Page / drop down menu
