The Western Federation of Watercolor Societies encourages and recognizes artistic excellence through competitions and encourages the visibility of watercolor as an artistic medium through annual exhibitions. WFWS was founded in 1974 by the New Mexico Watercolor Society through the foresight and work of Dr. David Gale (1915-1980). Today WFWS includes over 5000 artists in ten regional societies. WFWS sponsors an annual juried exhibition that is hosted by a regional member society. The WFWS exhibitions have works on paper, including paper collage, were created with a variety of water-based media: casein, gouache, tempera, acrylic and transparent or opaque watercolors. A diversity of artistic expression is the result. Membership
