About the Baltimore Watercolor SocietyFounded in 1885, the Baltimore Watercolor Society is the third oldest organization in the

country devoted to the use of watercolor as a painting medium. Since its founding, numerous artists of national reputation have been associated with the Society as members, exhibitors and jurors.

The purpose of the Society is to encourage cultural interest in the development of profes-sional quality, original works of art, executed in aqueous media.

The Society offers its signature artist and associate members opportunities to exhibit in local and regional shows, frequent newsletters, workshops, lectures and demonstrations, peer critiques, and trips to major exhibitions.

The Baltimore Watercolor Society is a 501(C3) non-profit charitable organization, incorpo-rated in the State of Maryland.

Juror’s StatementThe best way to behold a work of art is by way of

appreciation. As a juror, I try to get into the head and heart of each artist. A genuine work of art gives off vibes that form a bridge between the artist and the beholder. Those of us with educated eyes are con-stantly seeking qualities and relations, not only in nature, but also in man-made works of art. My congratulations to the selected artists and to the members of the Balti-more Watercolor Society who sponsor this exhibition. Each of you gallery visitors will make your own selections of favorites. I hope you admire the work as much as I do.

Frank Webb, AWSdf, NWS

Word from the Mid-Atlantic ChairThe Mid-Atlantic Exhibition is one of the largest

events sponsored by the Baltimore Watercolor Society each year. We are indebted to the artists, volunteers, donors and the BlackRock Center for the Arts for its success. Kudos to you all.

As remarkable as the exhibition is, it is just another accomplishment of the members of BWS who for over 125 years have nurtured the art of watercolor and those who cre-ate it. Springing from the desire of five women in 1885 to have an opportunity to paint and exhibit together, we have grown to over 600 women and men who continue that tradi-tion. We hope you will join us, both at the Mid-Atlantic Exhi-bition and at the other exhibitions throughout the year.
