Mission

Our mission is to promote and support the use of watercolor media and to educate the public as to the significance of watercolor painting.

The Society advances the interests of painters in watercolor and water media through its programs, workshops, and exhibits.

Join Us

We would love to have you join us in our fun and supportive community of water media artists. Membership is $45 per year, or $70 per year for a joint membership in both IWS and Plein Aire Painters of Idaho (PAPI), a $20 savings for full membership in both organizations.

Volunteer

The Society sponsors a wide range of activities across the state, including exhibitions, workshops, paint-togethers, social get-togethers, holiday parties, and educational programs where beginning artists can learn and grow, and seasoned artists can explore new techniques and contribute their talents to better the organization. Volunteer and get involved.
