CNYWS is in need of a Newsletter Editor

If you could consider stepping up and becoming part of the team that

keeps CNYWS going, we would be so grateful!

Traditionally, we publish 2 newsletters each year--One in the Spring

and one in the Fall. Judy Levins will help bring you "up to speed" with

templates, tips, and techniques!

                  Our History          

     The Central New York Watercolor Society was formed in February 1982 with fourteen charter members from the central New York State region. The Society was organized with the assistance of Mario Cooper and his wife, Dale Meyers, both past presidents of the American Watercolor Society, as well as Clarence Say, and Dan Meyers, past presidents of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society.

         The first President of  CNYWS was Willard J. Sauter of Utica, N.Y.
