SUBMISSION DETAILS FOR 2026
The CALL CLOSED August 8, 2026
The Bi-annual Members Show will be on display September 4 through October 25, 2026.
Work shown in previous Members Shows or Watermark exhibits will not be accepted.
Work must be original and created by the artist applying.
Watermark will make no modifications to prepare work for exhibit. Wall art must be stable and ready to hang. Framing is not required.
We want to offer as many opportunities for our members’ work to be on display as possible. If you have a large or heavy complicated piece, we might reject your submission based on lack of space in the gallery, but we don’t have a rule. For example 10ft x 10ft would take up a lot of wall space and so size might be a consideration for the jury.
CONSIDERATIONS:
- You must be a member when you apply and during the entire show
- Memberships may be purchased/renewed online, by mail or in person
- Artwork will be Juried in August. Accepted work notifications will go out on or shortly after August 10.
- With the exception of video, work is juried in based on photographs you submit with the application. If your work is accepted, the photo will likely be used for our website.
- Accepted work should be at Watermark on or before August 22.
- The exhibit opening and artists’ reception will be held on September 4, from 5 to 7pm.
- The exhibit closes October 24. Work must be picked up as soon as possible after this date or arrangements made.
Watermark encourages exhibiting artists to sell their work for commission, but you are not required to sell. If your work is accepted for the show, we will ask for an insurance value and whether you want to sell.
