Credit Where Credit is Due...

“A show does not just happen. People have to receive slides, then paintings from all over the world. People have to do the paperwork and support the jurors throughout the process. People have to work with the venue, produce a prospectus, an announcement and a catalog. All of us need to thank these folks who are dedicated supporters of the National Watercolor Society!” – Chris Van Winkle
