On the Coast

Eligibility requirements: 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 must be original work not copied from copyrighted material, painted by another, created under direct guidance of another, or created by following a tutorial. Work may have been done in a class or workshop using only the artist's own reference material. Acceptable mediums include watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oils, ink, casein, egg tempera, and other 2D media on any 2D surface. Photography, 3D media, reproductions, and digital art are not acceptable. There is no size limit.

Submission requirements: Submit 1-3 images at $15 per image for non-members or $10 per image for members.
