A Tour of the WAS-H Building
WE ARE IN OUR NEW HOME!
After more than 4 years of effort to raise funds, design and construct a new Education/Exhibition facility, we have moved in! Thanks to members and friends of WAS-H, we are now offering classes and exhibitions in a 5400 square foot building in Houston’s museum district, just 1/2 block from The Menil Collection. To our knowledge this is the only facility designed exclusively to exhibit and offer instruction in Watercolor
