Group Statement
The Mid-Southern Watercolorists (MSW) is a regional organization of artists who share a passion for watercolor painting. Founded in 1970 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the group was created to promote and elevate the art of watercolor as a professional medium.
About MSW
Mid-Southern Watercolorists was founded by five artists; Doris Williamson Mapes, Bruce R. Anderson, Josephine Graham, Edwin C. Brewer and Catherine Tharp Altvater. The organization has approximately 200 members in 13 states, Puerto Rico, and Japan.

This organization furthers the interest of painters and patrons by its programs and by its competitive and non-competitive exhibits. It also provides opportunities for study by art students and others engaged in art making and in appreciation of arts.
