BWS 140th Birthday Celebration Luncheon
Sunday, November 16
“Eight Baltimore Women Picked Up Their Brushes, and the Rest Is History."
This year BWS is offering an opportunity to gather and celebrate the founding of the Baltimore Watercolor Society. It began as the Baltimore Watercolor Club in 1885 as a small group of artists gathered to determine how to exhibit their work. From that small group of founders, BWS is now over 700 strong in its membership. Come celebrate the journey.

Please join us and share this afternoon of delicious food, fellowship, and a fabulous program with our guest speaker. This year, we are pleased to have Dr. Kathleen Foster, who will speak to us on American Watercolor in the Age of Homer and Sargent.
It was in that time period that the Baltimore Watercolor Club, that evolved into the Baltimore Watercolor Society, was formed. Our founders were part of that movement when groups began to unite to paint together and exhibit their watercolors. No longer was watercolor given a back seat in the American art world.
Members are invited to PAINT THE FOUNDERS with paintings to be displayed at the luncheon. See the following links for details.
