California Watercolor Association

2003 National Exhibition

CWA holds approximately ten yearly shows for its members, including the California State Capitol show and our National Annual Exhibition which is open to all water media artists in the United States and Canada. All shows are juried by nationally known artists and attract a large viewing public.

Because of the many juried shows each year, there are many opportunities for our members' work to be accepted and displayed in a show. Our gallery at the Blackhawk Plaza in Danville, California hosts juried member shows on a continual basis. Our national annual open show awards three medals with over $10,000 in cash and merchandise.
