Wet your brushes and start painting for the 53rd Annual Members Exhibit coming October 2022!  It’s not too early to start!  As in past years AME will award over $3000 in cash and merchandise, again making it one of the most highly anticipated events for our members.  We are looking forward to a bigger and better show this year.  

We are excited to welcome artist Ryan Fox as our judge for this year’s AME whose works have been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine and Art of Watercolour.  He is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society (AWS),New England Watercolor Society (NEWS), and Watercolor Society of North Carolina (WSNC).  He describes himself as a traveler, teacher, photographer, artist and father of two boys.  His paintings are based on his travel photographs, reinterpreted from the original images rendered with watercolor using a variety of techniques and surfaces.

The AME is set for October 2 and exhibits will remain in the gallery for viewing during regular hours until November 3.

You can soon find the prospectus on the WAS-H website.
