The Colorado Watercolor Society is hosting the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies 51st Exhibition at the Curtis Center for the Arts in Greenwood Village, Colorado from May 8, 2026 to June 27, 2026. The show juror is Xi Guo. (https://www.xiguopainting.com/) This show is open to watermedia artists who are members of one of the WFWS Component Societies, including IWS. Your IWS annual dues for 2026 must be paid by the WFWS entry deadline, which is February 1, 2026, or your entry will be disqualified.
Please read the WFWS51 prospectus carefully. You can find the prospectus on the Colorado Watercolor Society’s WFWS webpage (https://coloradowatercolorsociety.org/western-federation-of-watercolor-societies) by clicking the yellow “download prospectus” button. Remember that for WFWS, if your painting is accepted, you will be responsible for matting, but not framing. Your mat must be at least 3 inches on all sides and the outside measurement must be one of the specified sizes. Please call or email me if you need help with the math.
Please call or email me (do not call the Colorado Watercolor Society or ArtCall!) if you have any questions about entering or issues with ArtCall.
Good luck!
Shelly Johnson, IWS WFWS Delegate
