2019 42st Spring Show Prospectus

Juror: Frank Eber "The best reason for entering shows is sharing genuine feelings and ideas without the need to please peers or look for acceptance and reward. Ironically, once art comes from that deeper place, all the accolades just arrive without trying."

Please Read Entry Requirements Carefully
 
All entries must be received through the submission form on the Waterloo Watercolor website. And not sent via email. The file should be a jpg, 1500 pixels on the longest side, and not to exceed 2 MB.  Label file as YOUR NAME_TITLE_SIZE HxW (example: pablopicasso_masterpiece_h20xw15.jpg)
The exhibit is open to all WWG current members in good standing. To join or renew membership for 2018, go to waterloowatercolor.org under membership.
 
  • Members may submit up to three paintings.  Diptychs, triptychs or polyptychs are considered separate one entry only if they are contained within one frame.
  • Paintings must be original in concept, not copies of work or photographs of others, not completed in a class or workshop.
  • Paintings should have been completed within the last two years and not been exhibited previously in a WWG Spring or Fall exhibit.
  • Paintings must not have objectionable content to the venue or show chairs.  WWG reserves the right to refuse any work that does not conform to the Entry Requirements.
  • All accepted paintings must remain hanging for the entire duration of the exhibition. Buyers may pick up purchased paintings only after the exhibit closes. Sales shall be handled by the individual artist. Please inform the show chair of a sale.
  • As an entrant, you are agreeing to the stated rules and requirements and give permission to WWG to photograph and display your accepted paintings on the WWG website and/or promotional materials.
 
Media   Acceptable painting media include watercolor, gouache, acrylics, egg tempera and casein paints as well as watercolor pencils, crayons and water-soluble inks.  Mediums, gels, gesso and other painting supplements may be used. Pastels, gold and silver leafing are acceptable as long as water-based media is dominant.  No water-based oils. Collage is acceptable using hand-painted white papers painted with water-based media.
 
Substrates Acceptable papers/supports include cotton rag, oriental papers, synthetic paper (YUPO), and any kind of coated paper or board.  No commercially colored or printed papers allowed.
 
Framing Requirements: Presentation is as important as the painting. Frames, mats, acrylic, backing and wiring must be clean, neat, secure and follow these guidelines:
  • Mats, if used, will be choice of artist. One narrow colored liner may be used. Mats are recommended.
  • Acceptable frames include metal or wood non-ornate frames in black, white, gold, silver, bronze, pewter, or dark colors and wood stains. Frames should be no wider than 2.5 inches.
  • The maximum frame size is 42 inches in width due to venue space and weight.
  • Every painting with an opening larger than 11x14 must be under acrylic (like Plexiglas). 
  • Paintings must be wired from side-to-side with screw-in hangers. D-rings recommended. No saw-tooth hangers. When hanging, stretched wire should be 3" from the top of the frame.
  • Labels from this prospectus should be placed in the upper left corner on the back of each painting.
Exhibitions will be juried by Frank Eber who will be knowledgeable in the WWG’s entry guidelines, and his decisions will be accepted as final. Every effort will be made to allow the juror to work without undue influence.
 
Due care will be used in handling the artist's work. WWG will not be responsible for the theft, loss or damage to works submitted.
