THE INTERNATIONAL WATERMEDIA EXHIBITION (IWE)

The annual International Watermedia Exhibition (IWE) is Houston's premier watermedia event, showcasing the excellence of artists from around the world in the Watercolor Art Society - Houston gallery located in Houston's popular Museum District.  For more than forty-five years, this globally recognized competition has attracted artists from as far away as China and India, and the corresponding exhibit has been a staple in the art community attended by art collectors and enthusiasts.  Entries selected by a renowned juror and judge receive maximal exposure in a month-long, open-to-the-public gallery exhibit as well as an online exhibit that lasts through the end of the year.  Additionally, participants have opportunity to win substantial cash awards.
