News: The Launch of North American Watercolor (NAW)
The world of watercolor has a new home. North American Watercolor (NAW) officially launches as a fresh, dynamic space for artists who love the medium and want to be part of a growing community. With a vision to connect, inspire, and elevate watercolorists, NAW opens its doors to artists at every level, from emerging talent to seasoned professionals.
At its core, NAW is about opportunity. Members will enjoy the chance to exhibit their work in juried shows with awards, be featured through member spotlights online and in our quarterly magazine, and access resources to expand their skills. The society is designed to remove barriers and create a place where watercolor artists across the continent can feel seen and celebrated.
While the name highlights North America, NAW welcomes members from around the globe. Watercolor is a universal language, and artists everywhere are invited to take part in exhibitions, share ideas, and connect with this growing network. International members bring fresh perspectives and enrich the society with diverse approaches to the medium.
Unlike traditional groups, NAW offers a nimble and modern approach. Members will find clear paths to recognition through exhibitions, publications, and credentials such as the NAW Signature designation. The organization also welcomes fresh ideas and innovation, giving artists a say in shaping a society that reflects today’s creative world.
Through newsletters, special features, and upcoming online opportunities, members will connect with peers, share experiences, and find inspiration. Every brushstroke tells a story, and NAW is building a platform where those stories can shine.
As NAW begins this exciting journey, artists are invited to join from the very start. Membership is open now, with accessible pricing and benefits designed to grow with the organization. This is more than a society, it’s the beginning of something new, built by and for watercolorists everywhere.
