The Show is judged by local judges and awards are given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places and Honorable Mentions.  These artworks are meant to showcase WAS-H's extraordinary member artists.  While only members may enter paintings in these shows, everyone is invited to come and view the exhibit during Gallery Hours. Many of the paintings are offered for sale. Contact our gallery for more information or to purchase a painting.
