Zooming In

The Rhode Island Watercolor Society is hosting an online juried exhibition titled "Zooming In." The theme is open to a variety of interpretations, including zooming in on subject matter, close-up views, clear foreground/middle-ground/background compositions, and connections made through the online Zoom reception.

The exhibition is open to all 2D media excluding photography and digital art. Acceptable mediums include watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oils, ink, casein, and egg tempera on any 2D surface. 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 be listed as NFS (not for sale) by contacting the gallery at [email protected]. There is no size limit for this show.

The exhibition runs January 20 - February 16, with an online opening reception on Thursday, January 25 at 6pm on Zoom. Notification of acceptance is January 19. Submit 1-3 images at $15 each for non-members or $10 each for members. The juror is Nan Rumpf. Over $300 in cash prizes will be awarded.
