The Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour | CSPWC | by Eileen Hennemann
The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour / La Société Canadienne de Peintres en Aquarelle: founded in 1925 is considered to be Canada's official national watercolour Society.
Since the 1980s the Society has enjoyed Vice-regal Patronage from the incumbent Governor-General of Canada. Recognized by a long list of international exhibitions it is the Canadian equivalent of such other national societies as the American Watercolor Society of the United States, the Royal Watercolour Society of the United Kingdom, etc.
The Society publishes newsletters that highlight the extraordinary talents of its members. Members are asked to submit announcements and articles of interest. The March 2023 issue includes my article “Creating a Successful Art Exhibit”.

(The Society) … recognizes, encourages, and nurtures excellence of work in the medium of water colour. To this end it plans and holds seminars, demonstrations and open competition exhibits in order to discover and appreciate the work of water colourists and to encourage them to become members of the Society which provides a common forum, information and camaraderie for artists who express their creativity in this demanding discipline.
