Watercolor Art Society - Houston is excited to launch Lights, Camera, WAS-H!, an effort to make necessary and lasting upgrades to our classroom's technology, including new pan and zoom cameras, new display monitors, a fully-integrated control system, and new and improved classroom lighting for better visibility in person and for streaming.
This is a large project for an organization the size of WAS-H and it will need the help of each and every member. Please give what you can -- even the smallest amount helps.
