Members Show Online Auction:  

The Members Show is a virtual gallery of IWS participating members' artwork being made available for sale via an online silent auction. The artists may employ a variety of materials, papers, and techniques. Members not only showcase and share their creative endeavors, they also have an opportunity for a limited time to sell their art via an internationally available venue. 

​

Miniature shows: 

This is an opportunity for members to showcase their creativity and
try new techniques and watercolor products. 

​

Workshops:

The workshops are a chance for artists to spend several days studying
with a nationally known artist right here in Iowa. It is a great opportunity
for artists to learn and grow. The workshops are great for beginners and more experienced painters. The workshops are open to members and
non-members.
