Who we are and what we stand for: 

    The mission of the AWC is to encourage the art of watercolor painting through the education of artists. We endeavor to support and encourage the larger art community. As creative people, we have found innovative ways to share the gift of imagination. Our members are also interested in art history, art appreciation, and travel. So, it is our intent to share these opportunities with others. We also know that giving to others is important, so we seek to gift to local charitable organizations.

    A little history:

   The Annapolis Watercolor Club was founded in 1975 by a small group of artists under the leadership of Joanne Scott as a non-profit educational organization. 

    During the many months of staying at home due to COVID-19 beginning in 2020, we continued our monthly meetings and art demonstrations with the use of Zoom, and were able to invite artists to demonstrate their talents from all over the nation, and internationally!

    Since 1975 the membership of the AWC has blossomed from a handful of artists to over 200 active members. We are thankful for those who join us, grateful to those who support us, and inspired by the creativity and dedication of our community.
