The Wellesley Society of Artists, Inc. is committed to promoting the fine arts in the Greater Boston area. We promote local artists and secure exhibit space to share high quality art with the community. Our educational meetings that include demonstrations and critiques by renowned artists in various media are all free and open to the public. Through our website, we also share resources. The WSA proudly promotes artistic talent in our youth through the annual WSA Art Achievement Award which is given to a rising junior at the Wellesley High School. 

During the past year we:

  • Provided 5 Art Exhibitions
  • Organized 5 Artist Demonstrations 
  • Provided Art Education Resources
  • Awarded a $1000 Art Achievement Award to a Wellesley High School Student.
  • Donated artwork  for the “Taste of Wellesley” auction.
  • Donated artwork for the Wonderful Wellesley Weekend auction.
  • Partnered with the Page Waterman Gallery and Friends of Wellesley Veterans in the  “Paint the Town” plein air event and auction.
  • Donated and decorated a tree for the 2023 “Festival of Trees” to benefit the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.  

And we are just getting started…we look forward to providing workshops and much, much, more…
