Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour

In 1975, an invitation was accepted to exhibit at the newly renovated Canada House on Trafalgar Square in London.

Once again adjudication of members’ works took place in order to send another 15 paintings to be added to the 60 Canadian holdings at the Royal Library at Windsor Castle to become a part of the CSPWC's Royal Collection Project.

Those selected were displayed at the Arts & Letters Club of Toronto and then at the Canadian High Commission in London where they were, in 2001, formally accepted by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales who is an Honorary Member of the CSPWC/SCPA.

While several of these early societies did survive for brief periods it was on November 11, 1925, that a group of like-minded artists met at the historic Arts & Letters Club of Toronto and founded the CSPWC/SCPA.
