Saginaw Area Watermedia Artists Exhibition

March 5 through April 18, 2026

Studio 23/The Arts Center welcomes the artists of Saginaw Area Watermedia Artists (SAWA) for a group exhibition. SAWA is a Michigan nonprofit organization with a focus on creating, displaying, and discussing art created in water-based mediums. SAWA offers art education and experiences to their members and the community through presentations, events, and exhibits.

The artists of SAWA explore both traditional and experimental techniques in this exhibition, with artwork that ranges from classically representational to pure abstraction and all stages in between. The paintings on display illustrate the variety and creativity that can be found within water-based art media. In addition to watercolor, the work on display includes combinations of gouache, acrylic, and mixed-media collage.
