Membership includes quarterly newsletters, discounts on art supplies, short-term workshops, critique sessions, discounts on workshops, discounts on entry fees for GWS shows, low-cost exhibition space on GWS Website, full-color catalog of paintings from GWS National Exhibits, and other benefits. This is the best way you can spend $50.

Signature Membership
Signature membership is granted to those who earn three points as follows: one point for every National Exhibition, one-half point for every Member Exhibition. You need to be selected and exhibit in at least one National Exhibition. You must be a current member to receive credit points. Signature Members are required to pay annual dues to retain Signature status. If there is a lapse in membership, previous points are not retained. To recover lost points or Signature status, a member must pay back dues.

If you would like to provide payment for past dues, you have two options: you can submit a check payable to Georgia Watercolor Society to the address listed above, or PayPal us directly. If you know it, include your member number in the notes of your check.
