SC Watercolor Society Hosts Annual Regional Gatherings Around South Carolina
The SC Watercolor Society (SCWS) will host its Annual Regional Gatherings with five different programs at five locations throughout the state. SCWS members, all interested artists (non-members), and art patrons are invited to attend, free of charge.
The SCWS Regional Gatherings are intended to provide an educational program as well as offer an opportunity for artists to get together on a local level, share expertise, network with fellow artists, exchange ideas, get some artistic feedback ... and just visit with some friends. Each program will open with a social gathering and refreshments will be served. Come and register to win door prizes.
SCWS membership is open to all SC residents
or property owners. Plus, this year, NC artists in Polk and Rutherford
Counties are invite to participate as a guest member. Dues are
$25 annually.
The SCWS 23rd Annual Exhibition will open May 20 at the
Spartanburg Museum of Art in Spartanburg, SC. There will be $10,000
in cash awards to the top 30 winners. SCWS will host Art Market,
which is a five day event that displays all the show entries during
May 8 -12. This offers members the opportunity to show and market
their work to the public.
An traveling exhibition of selected works from the Annual Exhibition will travel to exhibit spaces throughout South Carolina during the following year.
Also during May 8 -12, there is a workshop, The Figure in the Landscape, taught by Serge Hollerbach. Hollerbach, NA, AWS, DF, is the author of numerous books and articles.
