The International Watermedia Exhibition (IWE) is one of two juried exhibitions held annually, the other being the Annual Members Exhibit (AME).  Whereas AME is open to only WAS-H members, IWE showcases the excellence of watermedia artists from as far away as Australia, Bulgaria, China, Germany, India and the Netherlands.  Selected by a renowned juror and judge, the paintings receive exposure in a month-long, open-to-the-public gallery exhibit as well as an online exhibit that lasts through the end of the year. Winning participants receive substantial cash awards.

This year's Exhibition was on display from March 3 through March 31.  Visitors viewed 88 masterworks from four countries and 21 states.  This year's show was judged by Vladislav Yeliseyev.  See the exhibition below (scroll down).  You can watch a video to see samples of Vlad's demo and the March 3rd reception HERE.
