Natural Wonders

The Rhode Island Watercolor Society invites artists to submit work interpreting Natural Wonders, from large ones like the Grand Canyon to small ones like a budding plant in spring. This exhibition celebrates the natural beauty that exists all around us.

The show is open to all 2D media excluding photography and digital art. Work must not have been exhibited in a previous Rhode Island Watercolor Society juried show, must have been completed within the last 10 years, and may not be copied from copyrighted material or created under the direct guidance of another artist or tutorial. Pieces may not exceed 48 inches on the longest side including frame. Acceptable mediums include watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oils, ink, casein, collage, mixed media, monotype, and egg tempera. Work must be framed or otherwise presented professionally, with frames no wider than 1.5 inches. Framed work must be under glass or Plexiglass (except pieces on canvas, wood, or board) and must be wired with no wire or hanger showing when hung.
