Submit by Oct. 3: WATERCOLOR
PROSPECTUS
WATERCOLOR, A Regional Exhibition Juried by Betsy Jacaruso, on view October 31 – December 21, 2025
CALL FOR ARTWORK:
This regional exhibition, juried by Betsy Jacaruso, is open to the medium of watercolor. Medium is the only constraint; artwork can range from realism to pure abstraction, and subject matter is open. This exhibition does not encompass other water-based mediums such as acrylic and gouache, only traditional transparent watercolors. Mixed media is acceptable as long as watercolor is clearly a major component of the work.
About the Juror: Betsy Jacaruso is an award-winning watercolorist and a long-standing member of the Hudson Valley’s art community. Widely exhibited throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond, she also curates’ exhibitions and teaches watercolor at her Rhinebeck gallery and studio.
