A beautiful collection of pieces that capture some of Tony Foster's most beautiful travels.

One of my favorite art museums I’ve ever visited! Tony Foster is absolutely incredible and inspiring. The staff was so friendly and I was so happy they had a little shop so I could take home a book of Foster’s beautiful watercolors. I highly recommend visiting!

Gorgeous, little known gem of a museum. Not only do you get to see Tony Foster's beautiful watercolors, but there are great notes on the places he traveled to and how he worked. I loved that many of the paintings included his notes and had artifacts framed with them; it lends much more of a sense of place. Our PTA hosted an event here, and I've been here for a meeting as well, and the staff is really friendly and pleasant to work with. The space is well designed and open. It deserves to be better known and more visited.

Hi John, unfortunately we don't have any in-person watercolor classes lined up for the foreseeable future, although we look forward to offering those eventually. In the meantime, in case you haven't found them, be sure to check out our watercolor demonstration video series we developed during the pandemic: https://www.thefoster.org/mattias
