It is a co-op gallery that is exclusive to the members and they pay a nominal fee to display their art. It is open to the public and the members' art is for sale with a low commission of 25% to the gallery. This commission helps them to operate the gallery and pay the required rent. The gallery is open every week, for a total of 288 days. The number of visitors is recorded at 7450 for the year. This gallery helps accomplish our goal of supporting and advancing the watercolor skills of our members and provides them a unique opportunity to share the knowledge they obtained in the workshops and classes. It has also provided an opportunity to reach out to the general public about the benefits of joining and learning art and the benefits to their life.
