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 technology upgrade will position WAS-H to expand its outreach to members and community by beginning to add: the streaming of monthly meetings, demonstrations, tutorials and major award presentations, as well as the offering of hybrid in-person and remote participation in classes and workshops.
