On view June 7th - 29th at Astoria Art Center, Watercolor Language brings together work by members of the Brooklyn Watercolor Society. The exhibition offers a thoughtful glimpse into the group’s diverse styles, from traditional landscapes to more expressive, abstract approaches.

​

The Brooklyn Watercolor Society's objectives are to further its members' creative efforts, spread knowledge, and cultivate interest in the watercolor medium. It is a non-profit community arts organization that was started in 1972 and now includes watercolor artists from throughout the Metropolitan area. As a close-knit group of professional watercolor artists, they are dedicated to showing their work and educating others about the joys of watercolor. Some members teach watercolor in the metropolitan area, including at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, United Federation of Teachers, the Creative Center at University Settlement, Parsons School of Design and have taught at the New York Horticultural Society, and for the National Council of Jewish Women. Individually, members have exhibited their work regionally and nationally and received awards in major art exhibitions. Their paintings can be found in museums, public institutions, and corporate and private collections. Many are graduates of some of the finest art institutions in the country. Taking what they have learned and experienced, they are willing to teach and inspire others.
