The Canadian Society of Painters
in Water Colour (CSPWC) was founded
in 1925 by some of the most illustrious artists in Canadian
art history who passionately believed in the
importance of watercolour as a medium. The CSPWC encourages
experimentation while honouring the transparent tradition
of the medium.
With a strong base of volunteers,
the CSPWC
- honours excellence in watercolour through
Open Water an annual juried exhibition with major
awards, open to all artists.
- presents regional, national and international exhibitions
of work by members.
- organizes workshops
and demonstrations
across the country.
- collects contemporary
and historical Canadian watercolours.
