The Miami Watercolor Society promotes art education through its annual student art show, “Impressions in Watercolor.”  Since it began in 1986, the student show has grown to be one of the most prestigious of the school year, thanks to the commitment of MWS members, our partnership with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and the generous inclusion of grants throughout the years. More than 300 paintings by kindergarten through twelfth grade students are selected for exhibition each year and they are all in one medium – watercolor.

MWS presents more than $2,000 in awards to the students.  In addition, an art teacher is honored each year and invited to attend a workshop sponsored by MWS with a nationally known watercolor artist.  That teacher may invite a student to attend with him or her.
