Our mission of BWS is to promote a growing relationship with artists, to encourage one another, and provide opportunities for promoting and exhibiting our watercolor paintings in the community.

Meetings

BWS meets the second Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m., September through June. Meetings are held at the First Christian Church at the corner of Kirkwood and Washington in Bloomington, Indiana. After a short business meeting, members enjoy an educational program or a demonstration by BWS members or professional artists. The demos are often interactive and provide time to paint. (There are no Monday meetings in December, July, or August; however, other activities are scheduled.)
