Our NWS 50 Stars Exhibition is wonderfully diverse in medium, voice and style. We are very proud to showcase watermedia societies throughout the USA and our joint artist members and their artwork. The artists were juried into this exhibition by their home state society.

For 100 years NWS hasencouraged innovation in watermedia through education, outreach and exhibition. We are excited to promote the advancement of watermedia and inspiring watermedia artists for the next decade.

Special thanks to the US Watercolor Societies’ presidents and board members who partnered with NWS to make this remarkable exhibition happen. Many thanks to Bruce Bobick, NWS, our Juror of Awards. It was a pleasure working with you. Congratulations to the Award winners and artists for making the cut and inspiring all of us!
