**************************************************************
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.
What a great day for our Art Retreat! Photos are posted under Events/Exhibitions Page/ drop down menu
