INSPIRING WATERMEDIA ARTISTS FOR OVER 40 YEARS |
MEMBERSHIP |
Founded more than 40 years ago, FSWS (Suncoast) is a community of both amateur and professional artists interested in water media. We offer juried exhibitions as well as demonstrations and field trips. Signature membership is awarded to members accepted into two juried exhibitions. Master Signature status is earned on a point system. Our juried exhibitions feature cash prizes, and we also sponsor awards in the local public schools’ annual art exhibition.
Membership is open to full or part-time residents along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Our range is from Pasco to Collier Counties, but most in-person activities are in the center of the region (Sarasota/Bradenton). We are a nonprofit organization and we have an all volunteer Board of Directors. |
Thank you for your support! We look forward to welcoming you into our community of artists. |
We are Florida Suncoast Watercolor Society, (aka SUNCOAST), serving artist members on the Gulf Coast of Florida from Pasco County to Collier County.
Based in Sarasota, we are one of nine independent local/county water media organizations in Florida. Many of our members also belong to other state, regional and national art societies, such as... |
... the similarly named but statewide Florida Watercolor Society. <--- Click their FWS logo to learn more. It will open in a new window so you don't lose your place on our page. In fact, so many Suncoast members are also members of FWS that we are meeting up at the FWS convention for a brown bag lunch. Please bring your lunch and join us! This year we are sponsoring the ever-popular FWS Paint-Around event, so you will be sure to run into us at their FWS Convention. |
