2017 MEMBERSHIP SHOW
DRY PASTELS ONLY
DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL:
FEBRUARY 15 (11:59 p.m. PST)
Exhibition Details:
This online membership show is so exciting because you can enter your best work without the expense of framing and shipping. Plus, General members can earn one point toward Signature Status by receiving a place award. Accepted artists will be showcased on our website: www.pswc.ws, as well as on www.OnlineJuriedShows.com reaching over 40,000 viewers. The Award winners’ paintings will be shown on our Facebook page and an E-blast will announce the Award winners to all members. There will be a higher probability of acceptance because we will not have the accepted number limitations of a gallery show.
