Welcome To The HCWS

Our mission since 1997 has been to further the cause of and interest in watermedia art by providing educational programs, sponsoring member exhibitions, and giving art-related grants to the High Country community from the endowment fund.

Watermedia is an art technique that includes water as a substantial and necessary part

of creating the art work. Examples include, but are not limited to: watercolor, gouache,

acrylics, water-soluble inks, crayons, pencils, water-mixable oils, and mixed media

making substantial use of a water-based component.

Our meetings offer opportunities to learn from professional demonstrators, network with

other artists and see their current work, find out what is going on the High Country

artworld, and pick up needed supplies.

Guests are welcome to attend one meeting and demonstration free. When new folks

decide to return, we ask that they become a member.
