The Center for the Arts is proud to host the Southern Watercolor Society’s Small Works Watermedia Exhibition in the Main Gallery. The public is invited to the opening reception on Friday, June 5, from 6-8 p.m.

Approximately 90 watercolor works from the Southeast will be featured in the Southern Watercolor Society’s Small Works Watermedia Exhibition. This includes media such as acrylic, gouache, casein, egg tempera, watercolor paints, water-based metallics, water-soluble ink, watercolor pencil, and watercolor crayons. Each piece has a guideline of a maximum of 12 inches on one side.

“In previous years, we’ve hosted the Southern Watercolor Society’s Annual Member Exhibition, one of the most prestigious exhibitions in the Southeast,” said Jayson Kretzer, Executive Director of Bay Arts Alliance. “We’re looking forward to seeing these talented artists’ works again, only this time on a much smaller scale.”
