We are a community of artists who share a passion for artistic creativity with water-based mediums.  Based in Marathon, Florida, our Society boasts a rich history of over 45 years of creating art. We encourage personal and artistic growth through educational activities and social gatherings.  We offer our members opportunities to paint and learn from each other through our annual exhibition, workshops, monthly paint-ins and outs,  and classes focusing on a particular area of study. The Florida Keys Watercolor Society brings together passionate artists across the Florida Keys Watercolor Society. Join our exhibitions, workshops, and vibrant watercolor community today.

We are committed to share the joy of being creative with the community. We offer the public painting opportunities with our many events.  You are visiting Marathon but didn’t bring any painting supplies?  We have you covered!  Check out our Resources page.  We have a cache of donated supplies that you are welcome to use! Check out our calendar and our events page on this website! 

We also offer an annual scholarship to high school students of the Florida Keys Watercolor Society who are interested in pursing further education in the visual arts. More information can be found under Community Events under the section, Scholarships.

Our members offer art classes to members and non-members through the Marathon Public Library,  The Studios of Key West, and the Shady Palm Art Gallery and Frame Shop, located in Marathon.  See what is available under the Community Events located in the navigational bar on the top of each page.
