Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario

KWSA's membership is mainly located in the Waterloo Region area of Southwestern Ontario, Canada, and our group's focus is on arts and artists in the region.

Society of Artists

Over 80 years old and with over 70 members, KWSA is a long-lived and popular organization with many part-time and full-time artist-members.  As a social organization, our meetings are oriented towards conversation, presentations and announcements.  Networking among fellow artists is the foundation of KWSA, and we always welcome new and prospective members.

We have a video of the work of some 25 KWSA members, here.

You can also follow us on Facebook 


Monthly Meetings

From September to June, monthly meetings are held on the First Tuesday of each month at The Button Factory building on 25 Regina St. South in Uptown Waterloo.  Meetings start at 7pm and generally run about two hours.  The first few minutes of each meeting clear away formal business issues and then we settle in to event announcements, member introductions, snack and conversation time and a longer presentation by an invited guest.

Events and Shows

KWSA Shows: Each year KWSA puts on a minimum of two shows featuring its artist-members work:  an open artwork exhibition, and a professionally juried show.   We also relay locally relevant calls-for-entry to our members so no one misses an opportunity to exhibit their work.

Each year also features a summer reception and a Christmas pot-luck party with Secret Santa artwork exchange.  Plenty of opportunities to reconnect with friends new and old!
