       About Us
The Essex Water Color Club is New Jersey’s oldest watercolor organization. It was founded by twenty-seven Essex County artists in 1932 to stimulate interest in and advance the art of water media painting. Since then this non-profit organization has continuously provided a forum for artists to meet, share ideas, discuss techniques and exhibit their work.
Today the club maintains a membership averaging one hundred and seventy five members; three-quarters of this number are exhibiting members; one quarter are associate members.  This two tiered membership represents water media artists of all abilities from across the State of New Jersey.  Meetings are held six times a year (second Sunday of the month) at the Livingston Community Center.  A feature of our meetings is a guest artist specifically selected for their style and technique. 
 
The club's continuing purpose is to stimulate creativity by providing first-rate programs and social and professional contact with fellow artists.  Member benefits include workshops, art excursions, a free video library, and the opportunity to participate in at least one juried show each year.
