Membership Information

Membership is limited to jurors of the exhibition and juror's award winners (this does not include purchase awards) in the annual national competitive exhibition, "Watercolor U.S.A.". We have recently revamped our biennial conferences, and meet in Springfield in June. Our membership currently numbers around 200.

Watercolor U.S.A. takes place annually at the Springfield Art Museum, Springfield, MO and opens the first weekend of June. You can contact the museum to be placed on the prospectus mailing list as well as visit their website: www.springfieldmogov.org/egov/art
We hope that you will enter the next national competitive exhibition. Best wishes for success.
