  • Only in the membership Exhibition is every member guaranteed acceptance of one painting.
  • Only one award per artist.
  • 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.
  • Paintings must not have been exhibited in a previous WWG Annual Spring or Fall Juried Exhibition nor 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), watercolor canvas, 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, must be white, off-white or a pale neutral.  One narrow colored liner may be used. Mats are highly recommended as most jurors prefer them.
  • 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 1/2 inches. The maximum frame size is 42 inches in either direction due to venue space and weight.
  • Every painting must be under acrylic (like Plexiglas).  No glass due to safety and venue rules.
  • 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.
General Exhibition Information and Guidelines: Exhibitions will be juried by qualified professionals in the arts community who will be knowledgeable of WWG's entry requirements, and their decisions will be accepted as final. Every effort will be made to allow the juror to work without undue influence.
  Digital images should be cropped and meet requirements for digital format if needed for the juror or publishing. Please do not send images that include frames.  The juror chooses the exhibition from the photographs of your work. A poor image could exclude a good painting.
Invitations will be emailed to members for their publicity use.
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.
