WSI’s status as a publically supported organization 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) became official on April 6, 1995, after a five year probationary period. The Foundation can be credited to the efforts of Wilbur Meese, Foundation Chairman; Jean Vietor, Treasurer; Frank Vietor; and Shirley Werner Carr. The Watercolor Society of Indiana today thanks these members and all the Founding Members who shared a dream.
