Instructions PROSPECTUS and ENTRY FORMS
The Watercolor Art Society - Houston (WAS-H) is embarking upon its 35th International Exhibition when each year more than 200 watercolor artists from around the world participate in this stellar event for watercolor artists. The range of expression has been remarkable, and the competitive exhibition has been acclaimed for its breadth and diversity in displaying the current work in water-based media created across the globe.
To encourage more artists to join in this critically acclaimed exhibition, WAS-H has strengthened the 2012 award program, increased cash awards and added a new award, the Jack Bowen Award, to its list of awards of merit recognizing outstanding achievement. A juried exhibition, this year’s outstanding juror is nationally recognized watercolor artist Judi Betts; last year's juror was watercolorist John Salminen. The 35th International Exhibition will be an exciting and quality month-long exhibition on display beginning March 13 to April 20, 2012
