Applications are now open for 2025 RWS Membership

 
Deadline: Monday 19th of May, 11.59pm 

 

 

Royal Watercolour Society artists are elected on merit by the current Membership - a tradition dating back to the Society's foundation over 200 years ago. Any professional artist working in water-based media may apply. Our Members' work is extremely varied, both in style and subject matter, and includes paintings in gouache, acrylic, pen and ink and watercolour mixed media on paper.
 
If elected, you will enjoy full Membership benefits, including two major group exhibitions and two joint exhibitions with the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers at Bankside Gallery each year, as well as other opportunities to exhibit and sell your work through Bankside Gallery,  our new RWS Gallery at Whitcomb Street, and other venues. Your work will be publicised through the Society’s social media, and there are opportunities to run courses, have your work used for publicity, on merchandise, and to become involved in Society activities.
