2024 IWS Annual Juried Exhibition

By Annual Juried Exhibition, Annual Show Location, ArtCall, Events

Greetings IWS members!

Attached is the prospectus for the 2024 IWS Annual Juried Exhibition.  We will be using digital entries in ArtCall as in previous years, and the ArtCall site will open on Friday, February 9, 2024.  The end date for submissions is Wednesday March 27, 9 PM MST.

We are exhibiting this year at the Riverside Hotel in Boise.  The show will be up for 2 months starting in May.  This will increase time in front of prospective buyers significantly.

Please review the prospectus.  We were very careful to make everything clear but are happy to answer questions.  Contact Scott at 805-795-0252 or via email (email preferred) at scottmuscolo@gmail.com.

Paintings must be received at the Riverside Hotel by Friday April 26, 2024.

Good luck, and it will be a great show!

The Arizona Watercolor Association has announced the artists and artworks chosen for inclusion in the 49th Annual WFWS Exhibition. Out of 875 entries, the juror had the difficult task of choosing only 80 paintings for the show. The juror chose nine IWS artists for inclusion in the exhibition. The nine IWS artists and their selected works are:

Linda Aman – The Space Between

Jessica Bryant – Afternoon Calm at Yellow Dog
Gail Greco – Yellowstone Winter
Joyce Green – Bristlecone Pine Grove
Karen Hickman – End of a Long Day
Rachel Lindquist – Winter Citrus, Lemons
Torgesen Murdock – Last Light
Ying Peng – A Western Passion

Please join me in congratulating these artists for their excellent work! My personal thank you to all of the 35 IWS members that entered, even if their work was not chosen. Note some emails from ArtCall did not go through and AWA is working on the issue.
