Hello,
I facilitate the homeschoolers group at the Kuna library. Once a month we invite different organizations/businesses to teach our group about their field of work and if possible, do a hands-on activity together. We would like to invite the Idaho Watercolor Society to be our guest this coming fall. We usually have about 50 people. Parents attend and assist their children, primarily ages 5-12.
Contact Heather if you are interested.

We are coming up on one of the biggest weeks of the year for our IWS members.
Tuesday evening, June 2, at 6:30pm is the awards ceremony for our annual juried show. It will be held at the Riverside Hotel on Chinden Blvd., Garden City and will be in the Sapphire Room. You won’t want to miss seeing who wins awards and hear from our juror, J.J. Jiang.
Wednesday begins our workshop for those of you who signed up. It should be an amazing week for watercolor. Hope to see you there.

Please Congratulate the IWS Award Winners at WFWS51
Three IWS members won awards at the Western Federation of Watercolor Society’s 51st Annual Juried Show hosted by the Colorado Watercolor Society. This is an amazing showing since only six IWS paintings were accepted into the show.
Please congratulate Ying Peng, Hugh Mossman, and Lori Seale! All received $50 and merchandise awards.
You can view the exhibition right now if you have an account on ArtCall,
https://wfws51.artcall.org/pages/web-gallery. I will let you know when CWS posts the exhibition on the WFWS site. Catalogs will be sent to those that entered starting next week.
Thank you again to all who entered!
Shelly Johnson
IWS WFWS Delegate
Congratulate Shelly Johnson and Hugh Mossman for reaching Western Federation of Watercolor Societies (WFWS) Signature status. WFWS honors active member artists who have achieved Signature Status by being accepted into three WFWS shows.
