The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colourr

about

Since 1925 the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC) has been encouraging excellence in the medium of watercolour through  exhibitions, workshops and symposiums.  The Society also facilitates communication between artists who share this demanding medium but often work in isolation.  The CSPWC enjoys the Patronage of the Governor General of Canada.

Distinguished Beginnings

Founded at Toronto's historic Arts and Letters Club on November 11, 1925 by a dozen artists, the CSPWC has had an illustrious history of promoting tradition, education and experimentation.  The founding members included Fred Brigden, considered the dean of Canadian watercolour at the time, and A.J. Casson, Arthur Lismer and Franklin Carmichael, all members of the exciting new Group of Seven.  There are now over 220 elected members of the CSPWC.
