About the Florida Keys Watercolor Society

The Florida Keys Watercolor Society (FKWCS) is comprised of artists and instructors whose influence and prestige extends beyond our state’s borders. Our membership includes artists from all over the United States and Canada, full-time residents of the Keys, those who use the Florida Keys as a second home, and seasonal visitors. As a welcoming Florida Keys watercolor art community, we share a passion for creativity, education, and artistic collaboration, supporting one another in every aspect of watercolor art.

We encourage artistic excellence and personal growth through educational activities, social gatherings, workshops, and classes. The Society is dedicated to increasing the visibility of watercolor as a respected and expressive artistic medium, showcasing it through exhibitions, community events, and seasonal workshops. By providing opportunities for members and non-members alike to engage with watercolor art, we foster a vibrant environment for learning, creativity, and connection. Please Join Us.
