Mission Statement...

The Watercolor Society of North Carolina, Inc. (WSNC) is a non-profit art organization founded to encourage and recognize professional and artistic excellence through competitions and by elevating standards in watermedia to increase the visibility and stature of watercolor as an artistic medium.

WSNC strives to strengthen and promote watercolor throughout the state by hosting workshops featuring nationally recognized artists, by sponsoring juried exhibitions, and by educating artists, collectors, art enthusiasts, and the people of North Carolina through informational programs.

Programs and activities provide stimulating interaction and technical information to watercolor artists from the novice to the professional.

Our Vision Statement....

The Watercolor Society of North Carolina will become the organization of choice for watercolorists in the state. We intend to do this in a way that:

provides informative programs,
advances the interests of individual careers,
helps artists to grow,
provides opportunities to display artists work,
and advocates the arts statewide.


Long-range we envision a centrally located headquarters providing meeting and display space as well as staff assistance for programs and activities.
