Indepth Arts News: "Call for Artists : Open Competition 2010" 2009-11-12 until 2010-01-13 Royal Watercolour Society London, , UK United Kingdom
The Royal Watercolour Society invites artists to submit works to the 2010 competition [formerly known as the 21st Century Watercolour Competition]. Celebrating its twelfth anniversary, this open competition is a passionate celebration of watercolour as a vibrant medium for the 21st century. Unlike other painting competitions, the Royal Watercolour Society Open Competition identifies and supports artists of any age and is not prescriptive about size or subject matter. It is also a celebration of the water-soluble medium. All works produced in water based mediums, watercolour, acrylic and gouache are eligible. Work can be sent in from artists worldwide, and there are 13 regional pick-up points around the UK, bringing submisssions to Bankside Gallery in February.
The aim of the competition is to encourage innovation in the use of water-based media on paper and to stimulate fresh approaches to what are considered to be watercolour‚s traditional strengths. Successful submissions will be exhibited at Bankside Gallery, London, from 19 February to 11 March 2009 and successful applicants will be invited to apply for election to the Royal Watercolour Society.
