Art Society profile:

Hoover Watercolor Society

The Hoover Watercolor Society is located in Shreveport, Louisiana and was originally known as the Shreveport Watercolor Society.

An untitled work by Ms. Terry Hershey, at 98-years old, the Hoover Watercolor Society's most senior member

The Society was founded in 1958 by four local artists, including Dr. H B Wright - Curator of the Louisiana Exhibit Museum, to provide an exhibition as a stimulus toward quality artwork, as well as to increase the interest of the public in fine watercolor art.
Today the Hoover Watercolor Society sponsors three juried exhibitions, a membership show in Bossier City, A Spring Show and a Small Painting Show in Shreveport.
