Wild Over Watercolor! Guild of Artists

Join a supportive watercolor artist community in Tualatin. Monthly meetings, collaborative learning, and exhibitions for all skill levels.

Wild Over Watercolor! Guild of Artists (WOW!) is a vibrant creative community based at the Tualatin Heritage Center that has been fostering artistic growth and excellence for the last 16 years. This supportive artist collective brings together nearly 40 members at all stages of development, from emerging to professional artists.

WOW! provides a unique non-judgmental space where artists can experiment freely with new techniques, receive constructive feedback from peers, and develop crucial skills like resilience and self-expression. The group's mission centers on teaching, learning, inspiration, collaboration, and shared resources that help artists grow beyond their perceived limits.

Members include professional artists who display in art shows and compete in juried exhibitions for recognition and prizes, as well as hobbyists and art instructors who teach through various art associations and studio spaces. All members are welcome and valued as part of the ecosystem of shared inspiration and support.

Benefits of participation include building confidence, challenging comfort zones, reducing artistic isolation, and developing stronger technical skills. The group maintains a genuine feeling of friendship and belonging that defines its special community identity. Whether you're looking to advance your watercolor skills, connect with fellow artists, or simply explore painting in a supportive environment, WOW! offers the perfect opportunity.
