BWS Mini Workshops

Brevard Watercolor Society is dedicated to promoting education and advancement of watercolor painting and our regularly scheduled Mini Workshops support this goal. Mini Workshops are generally held on the third Saturday of each month (excluding February, November and December) at the Wickham Park Community Center at 2815 Leisure Way, Melbourne FL 32935 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Attending a Mini Workshop is a great way to meet and socialize with other members while trying out a new technique or experimenting with a new style. Registration for our workshops is required to reserve your seat at a specific workshop. Space is limited and is offered on a first registered first reserved basis. Registration is completed here on our website and is typically open for registration one month prior to the workshop date. Upon registering online, you will receive an automatic email notification that your registration has been submitted. If you do not receive the confirmation email, please notify us at BWSminiwkshp@gmail.com.

Space is limited; however, a wait list is maintained and managed.

Cost to Reserve & Attend

  • Members – FREE… a benefit of your annual paid membership
  • Guests are welcome to attend if space is available (members are given priority) for a fee of $20. Guest attendance is limited to one workshop; however, guests usually enjoy the experience so much they join as a member that day.
