All Signature and Full members with current paid dues are eligible to submit paintings which meet the definition and criteria of the exhibition.

General

Paintings shall not be more than two years old and must be the original work of the artist. Work done under instruction, published photocopies of paintings and copies of other works of art will not be accepted. Glicée reproductions are not allowed. A painting containing any type of pastel medium will not be accepted. A painting accepted in one juried FSWS show cannot be entered into another. A Technical Acceptance Screening Committee will inspect all artwork before registration is initiated. Any artist is eligible to receive one award per show. Award winners must be present to accept the award (unless prior arrangements are made.)

Watercolor - Watercolor is defined as a painting executed with a water resoluble transparent medium, on paper (not Yupo), unvarnished and under Plexiglas.

Aqueous - Aqueous is defined as a painting executed with any water soluble medium, on paper or Yupo, including acrylic, ink, egg tempera, or watercolor collages and under Plexiglas.

Framing - At the April 19, 2008 Annual Meeting, after much discussion, a motion was made and seconded and approved by the membership present to change the general prospectus and remove all frame restrictions. Consequently, the paragraph under "Framing" on Page 6 of your current directory should read:

Framing - All artwork must be securely framed and wired for hanging. Paintings must be under a separate sheet of rigid acrylic plastic (e.g. Plexiglas) - NO GLASS ALLOWED. White and Off-White mats are the only ones permitted. Thin colored liners may be used if they add positively to the painting.

Sales - A commission fee, as determined by the host gallery, will be reflected in the sale of any work exhibited during the show.

Liability - Neither the gallery nor FSWS will be responsible for loss or damage to any work submitted. The members of the host gallery and FSWS will, of course, exercise the utmost care in handling all submitted work. Insurance is the responsibility of the artist.

Pick Up - Artwork must be picked up on the specified day, during the specified hours, or the host gallery may impose a storage charge.
