GSWS is excited to be having our Annual Members Show at Middletown Art Center again this year. As in previous years, we will have a Signature Members Show and an Associate Members Show, each with their own categories of juried awards. GSWS continues to focus on the advancement of water based media in the arts but we thought it would be fun to see other work from our members and are introducing a separate category for non-water based media that will be judged for separate awards. Each member may submit one water media work and one non-water media work.
It's time to become a member or renew your annual membership.

Round Robin Live Demo Middletown Arts Center, Middletown, NJ In this FREE live painting event, four watercolor artists – Tess Fields, Judy Hummer, Jane Lux and Zina Umyn -- will each start and finish their own painting in this live demo. But there’s a twist… Every 15 minutes, they will pass their painting to another artist to work her own magic, until all four have had the chance to collaborate on each painting. All four of the finished matted paintings will then be auctioned off. For more information about the demo, please click here for the event poster and here for the press release!
