The OWS
Permanent Collection

As a way to encourage the advancement, understanding, appreciation and awareness of the broad scope of watercolor painting, the Ohio Watercolor Society has assembled and maintains a Permanent Collection, comprising watercolor paintings created by its members and some eminent jurors of its annual exhibition.

Addition to the collection requires approval of the Executive Board and may be made through purchase by the Society of outstanding paintings chosen by the juror of the annual exhibition or through donations of paintings from past or present members or their estates.
