Ulster Watercolour Society

Founded in 1976, the Society includes in its ranks most of the top active watercolourists in Northern Ireland. As the name suggests, the Society's main interests span watercolour painting, gouache or line and wash. The Society whose memberships stands at about 100 includes members from the Royal Ulster Academy and the Ulster Society of Women Artists. The Society’s aims are the promotion of watercolour painting in Ulster, the exhibition of high-quality watercolour, gouache or line and wash artworks and the encouragement of watercolourists of all ages. Membership is by selection only. The Ulster Watercolour Society holds an Exhibition each year in the Spring at the Society’s premises in Donegall Street, Belfast. Previous exhibitors and members have included Gladys MacCabe and Maurice Wilks.
