A big thank you to the over eighty members and guests who attended this year's Celebrate Watercolor Dinner from across the United States.
Reconnecting with fellow artists, old and new friends, provided a warmth which made the evening truly special. It was wonderful to see beginners and masters join together to celebrate those in our society who became signature artists this year, as well as our newest TWSA Masters. Awards were presented to many who were at the dinner, and some are being mailed to those who missed the event, in total the awards exceeded $12,000!
For all of us at the celebration, it was a night to remember. Read more about this in our next newsletter.
