2025 Members Show

PWCS invites members to submit original works on paper for the 2025 Members Show. Members may submit up to 2 paintings for a $25 entry fee per artist. All work must be original and completed between 2022 and January 2025. Accepted media includes water media, drawings, pastel, charcoal, graphite, acrylic, gouache, colored pencil, pen/ink, and hand-pulled prints. Collage elements must be of paper with all imagery and color created by the artist. Oils, photographic, digital, electronic processes, and computer art are not accepted. Work previously exhibited in any PWCS exhibition or completed under teacher supervision will not be accepted. All entries must be original, not based on another artist's work, published material, or another person's photograph.

Participants may choose between two display options: In-Person & Online, where works are hand-delivered to the Fine Arts Gallery in Blue Bell on Saturday, May 3 from 1-4 pm with pickup on Monday, June 9 from 12-3 pm; or Online-Only, where work is displayed on the website only. Members are eligible for awards with either option. Awards include 1st Place ($500), 2nd Place ($300), 3rd Place ($200), 5 Awards of Merit ($100 each), and 5 Honorable Mention Awards ($50 each).

Submissions must be high-quality JPEG files at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Images should be cropped to show only the artwork without matting, frames, or background. All works must be available throughout the exhibition period and not exhibited elsewhere during this time. Works may be offered for sale or marked not-for-sale. The entry deadline is March 14, 2025. For questions, contact PWCS at pwcs.wildapricot.org/exhibitions/2025-members-show.
