The Society is committed to learning and growing as watercolor artists and gather regularly to share their paintings, learn from well-known, professional watercolorists, and offer critiques for one another’s work. Every year the group participates in group exhibitions to display their work to the communities in which they live and work in. The Beloit Art Center appreciates the opportunity to share their work in the state-line area.
