Facebook Group

The Pittsburgh Watercolor Society has its own Facebook page attached to the PWS Facebook group. Click here to visit the PWS Facebook page.

Facebook pages allow Facebook users to share information and photos with other Facebook users. PWS members use the Facebook page to view:

• Photos of the demo Don Andrews gave our membership before the Aqueous Open
• Photos of work recently finished and posted by our members
• Dates of upcoming meetings and other important PWS notices
• News and notes from our members: where they've recently shown their work, etc.

One bonus is that whenever a group member posts to the group, the posts appear on the member's own Facebook "wall"--basically their personal Facebook page, which is seen by all their friends. So if Jen posts or comments on someone else's post, her 300 contacts see this activity; or if Peggi interacts with the group, her 1,200 contacts see it--which brings the Society visibility and currency.

The Facebook group also allows for members to begin discussions and to post messages to all members of the group. There are tabs for these functions on the group's page.

If you're not a member of Facebook, we encourage you to give it a try. It doesn't cost anything, and you don't have to participate in any of its other facets in order to enjoy the benefits of the PWS group.

To explore it further, go to www.facebook.com and establish an account. Once you've got an account, you can go to the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society Group page and request membership. If you have any trouble with this request, let Jennifer Matesa and Peggi Habets (the group's administrators) know via email. We'll put your name on the group's list.
