  Theme:  "Transitions & Transformations"

  New Mexico Watercolor Society–Southern Chapter invites members of both NMWS chapters to submit artwork for selection to the 2025 Fall/Winter Exhibition. The theme of the exhibition is “Transitions & Transformations”. In these tumultuous times we are surrounded by changes that often bring about transitions and sometimes dramatic transformations to ourselves and our communities, environment, cities and countryside, as well as to our social and political lives. Artists throughout the ages have used their art to depict—and inspire us to see and feel—these dramatic changes. As an NMWS artist, you are encouraged to boldly interpret a variety of the transitional and transformational subject matters that have affected you deeply.

  All information about the juried exhibit and entry will be available through ArtCall. The commission fee for all art sold during the exhibition will be 20%.  

  Download and print the prospectus.

  This year we also have a checklist which you can use to make sure you've fulfilled the elements of entering.  Download and print the Entry checklist 2025.pdf.
