NMWS Southern Chapter Members Only 2022 Spring Exhibition - Call for Entries

Hosted by New Mexico Watercolor Society-Southern Chapter 
April 23 - July 31, 2022
Juror: Lynn McLain
Judge: Joy Miller


New Mexico Watercolor Society-Southern Chapter invites all NMWS Members to submit artwork for selection to the 2022 Spring Exhibition. The theme of the competition is “Seasons of Enchantment: Painting the New Mexico Farm and Ranch”.  Paintings will depict and celebrate the daily life of New Mexico farmers and ranchers and their families, as well as expressing a sense of time and place.  From kitchen canning to roping cattle, from baby lambs to Chile harvest, pecan orchards through the seasons to cotton bolls ripe for picking--the inspiration is endless.
