New Associate Application & Non-Member Registration

The National Watercolor Society is proud to have a vibrant and supportive community of Associate Members. By joining with a modest annual dues payment, you gain access to a wide range of NWS opportunities and benefits. Associate Members enjoy nearly all the privileges of Signature Members—with the exception of using the NWS initials after their name, holding the offices of President or Vice President, or voting at the annual business meeting.

Associate Membership Benefits

As an Associate Members, you will:

Receive invitations to all NWS events, openings, and special functions.
Submit an image to the International Open Exhibition and enjoy a discounted entry fee.
Submit artwork for the Annual Member Exhibition, a celebrated showcase of NWS talent.
Receive the NWS Newsletter, published 3–4 times per year online, filled with updates, opportunities, and artistic inspiration.
Be recognized in the Annual Exhibition catalog as an Associate Member.
Receive a complimentary copy of the Annual Exhibition catalog (international members receive a digital PDF version).

Another exciting benefit of membership is access to our Watercolor Watercooler Zoom sessions (currently held 1st Tuesday of the month) —an exclusive program designed to educate, inspire, and connect. Each session features engaging artist demonstrations, lively panel discussions, practical tips, insider techniques, and so much more, all in a friendly, interactive format that brings the NWS community together no matter where you are in the world.
