The Watercolor Society of North Carolina’s Permanent Collection represents nearly five decades of artistic excellence. This curated selection of works serves not only as a historical archive but as a living testament to our mission: to educate, elevate, and inspire through the power of watercolor.

Each piece in the collection reflects the diversity, creativity, and technical mastery of our members—past and present. Together, they chronicle the evolution of watercolor in North Carolina, highlighting the artists who have shaped, and continue to shape, our vibrant visual culture.
