Mississauga Watercolour Society

Many members have been recognized and won awards in juried shows in Canada and Internationally. Members meet at Visual Arts Mississauga weekly to paint, draw inspiration and share expertise.
Figurative Expressions
Figurative Expressions Group (FEG) has been running out of Visual Arts Mississauga since April 2010. They began as a small group of artists who love drawing the figure. Mississauga lacked an unstructured program for artists to practice with a model, so out of need, Figurative Expressions was formed. Figurative Expressions Group provides an inviting and encouraging environment for artists of all skill levels to practice their figure drawing. They meet weekly from September to June on Fridays.
Clarkson Society of Artists
The Clarkson Society of Artists was organized in 1963 and serves to bring together a closely knit group of Mississauga based artists. The prime purposes are to be supportive, to work and learn with others of similar interest to provide an annual art show displaying members’ work.
Sauga Plein Air Group
Sauga Plein Air Painting Group is a collective of artists who strive to paint and sketch the outdoors in all its seasons.
The intent of the group is to capture the natural beauty of green spaces or heritage spaces within Mississauga and surrounding regions with an underlying focus of the interaction of people or animals within them.
To also emphasize the importance of how having public access to those spaces, creates a healthy, thriving city with a sense of community. Along with the need for conservation to ensure wildlife have naturalized spaces to maintain biodiversity of species.
The artists within the group, bring their own unique styles, mediums and process to create and capture the natural beauty and the interplay of people or animals with their surroundings.
The group meets up at lest once a week to do Plein Air painting or sketching throughout the year, with the intention of showing selected works from the artist collective.
