2022 Juried Member Show

CALLING ALL SWS MEMBERS!
Start planning your masterpiece! The fall Juried Member Show is open to all members. Please download the prospectus and highlight all the important dates and details. Questions? Contact Show Chairperson Kelly Knouff-Burk.

The member show is a perfect opportunity to learn how to navigate a prospectus. Why? Because you can ask for help along the way! The prospectus is like a rule book for each particular show. There are many things to consider, which is simplified by reading it through completely then going back and highlighting details that will be important for success. Even the most beautiful paintings can be rejected due to prospectus violations - even before the juror has a chance to see them. Oral Carper, our National Show chairperson, has compiled his list of most frequent problems encountered - take a look.

Read through the prospectus carefully. It is the guide book for this particular show.
Highlight requirements that pertain to you/your painting.
Check your measurements (and recheck - many prospectus violations occur here!).

WINNING PAINTINGS REQUIRE WINNING IMAGES!

If you cannot get a acceptable file size, or clear, unskewed, well-lit image with your camera, phone, etc., consider taking your unframed painting to Kurt at the Spokane Art Supply to be professionally scanned. Or ask a member with experience - we all learned from the bottom up at some point!
