WFWS50 Entry Deadline is next Friday, October 11!
WFWS50 CAFE entry deadline is only one week away! As of October 1, only 165 artists have entered WFWS50 and only eight entries are from IWS.
Some reminders:
If accepted, your painting in the IWS Traveling Show will be back in time to ship to WFWS50.
Artwork previously entered in WFWS may be submitted again, as long as it did not get accepted into the prior exhibition. Different jurors have different criteria for judging artwork.
Minimum size is 100 square inches, or as small as 10” x 10”.
You do not have to deal with framing your painting, if accepted framing will be done by West Texas.
The West Texas Watercolor Society is hosting the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies 50th Anniversary Exhibition in Lubbock, Texas from February 1, 2025 to May 4, 2025. The show juror is Ken Call. (http://mobile.call4portraits.com/the-artist.shtml) The show venue is Museum of Texas Tech University. This show is open to watermedia artists who are members of one of the WFWS Component Societies, including IWS. Your IWS annual dues for 2025 must be paid by the WFWS entry deadline, which is October 11, 2024, or your entry will be disqualified. Please read the WFWS50 prospectus carefully and note that for WFWS50 mats must be a single white mat and a minimum of 3” on each side. Please call me if you need help with the math.
