Congratulations to the Accepted Artists of the 2026 NWS 106th International Open Exhibition! Selected from a highly competitive international field, the 98 paintings featured in this exhibition represent the creativity, diversity, and excellence of contemporary watermedia. We are especially proud that 42% of the accepted artists are Associate Members, demonstrating that artistic vision and excellence remain the defining criteria for selection. Our sincere thanks to Jurors of Selection Ratindra Das, Robbie Laird, and Gale Webb for their dedication and thoughtful evaluation of the entries. On behalf of the National Watercolor Society Board of Directors, congratulations to all accepted artists. We look forward to celebrating your achievements and welcoming you to the NWS Gallery in San Pedro this October. |
