Exhibits
The Sierra Watercolor Society sponsors multiple public art exhibits each year. The organization and arrangement of each exhibit is carried out by SWS volunteers, and all members are invited to display original water media work for public viewing and enjoyment. SWS holds its annual juried show during the popular Balloon Race Exhibit at the Wilbur May Museum.
