The American Watercolor Society is a nonprofit membership organization that began in 1866 to promote the art of watercolor painting in America. Each year the Society holds a juried 
exhibition of watercolors from artists throughout the world. The AWS Traveling Exhibiton brings some of the biggest and most talented artists in water soluble media together into one show. The original juried exhibition, hung in March 2009 at the Salmagundi Club in NYC contained over 100 entries, 40 of which have been chosen for the traveling show with over half having won awards.
