TO IWS SW MEMBERS
This year IWS is holding a new event for signature members and then followed by the SW Regional Show. So we are “learning as we go” and trying to make sure we cover all aspects so it is an outstanding event.
Here is a better explanation for entries:
If you are a Signature member and also a SW member, you can leave the art you entered in the Signature show as one of your two entries for the SW show.
However, if you enter a second piece in the SW show it must follow the specific guideline for that event. The size limitations are different. Please see show notice previously sent out.
Also on your entry form for the SW show, if you are leaving your GOAT painting in as one of your two entries, please note this on your entry form and provide the information for the show label.

Dear Idaho Watercolor Society members, the following call to artists was received from the City of Kuna Arts & History Center Curator. A link to the Call to Artists Packet Application is at the bottom of the announcement.

Greetings Annual Show exhibitors:
We are pleased to announce that Idaho Power is again interested in sponsoring the purchase of a painting for their collection. I have negotiated a (tentative) offer of $800 for the purchase of your painting by Idaho Power, should you choose to participate.
In 2019, this sponsorship was $600.
To understand this properly, your painting priced at $1100 would, after commission to IWS and the Water’s Edge Gallery would net $715. This is after considering your painting may not sell at all.
A guaranteed price of $800 may be of more value to you than a hopeful asking price of $1500.
We do not deduct an IWS commission from this sale, and since it’s not driven by the venue, the Water’s Edge Gallery is excluded from commission in this sale. You would receive the entire $800.
The sooner we hear from you on your willingness to participate, the sooner we can ink this proposal with Idaho Power. Please get back directly to Scott Muscolo 805-795-0252 or at [email protected] to confirm your participation.
Thank you!
Scott Muscolo, 2024 IWS Annual Juried Exhibition Chair
