The Jacksonville Watercolor Society hosts two to three member shows each year. The Fall and Spring exhibitions are juried by a nationally recognized watercolor artist. The Summer exhibition is juried and open to all members to display their most accomplished pieces which have been in a JWS juried show. These annual exhibitions are high points for the Jacksonville area communities as well as for JWS members. See the JWS Show Standards and Guidelines - Revised 2007 for entry requirements. Non JWS member may enter any of our shows by paying the membership dues at the door. JWS membership is open to anyone interested in watermedia - $35.00 annual membership.
