CWA exists to create, foster, and sustain interest in the art of water media painting; to sponsor educational programs, displays and exhibitions; to increase the skills of its members; and to further the understanding and appreciation of water media art on the part of its members and the general public.

CWA holds numerous member shows annually, as well as the National Annual Exhibition, which is open to all water media artists in the United States and Canada.  All shows are juried by nationally known artists and attract a large viewing public.

The juror for this exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma is Pablo Villicana-Lara.  Prizes from First Place to Honorable Mentions will be awarded. Mr. Villicana-Lara’s work is highly regarded having received numerous awards including Best of Show for the Society of Western Artists, many awards with the California Watercolor Association, the American Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society, Northwest Watercolor Society and the International Guild of Realism. 

Local artists will also have an opportunity to display their work at the adjacent Community Gallery at 48 Natoma.  A variety of mediums including watercolors, oil paintings, ceramics and jewelry from the El Dorado Hills Arts Association will be on display from May 11 to June 28, 2012. This is a preview of their Annual Open Studio Tour which will take place in Shingle Springs, Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills and Folsom on June 2 and 3.
