SCVWS Member Exhibits 2008

All SCVWS members are encouraged to participate in our Member Shows. Entry Forms are in your newsletter or online here. The smaller venues make a great opportunity for emerging artists to begin showing your work, and to learn about setting up a show. Our Annual Member Show, held at the Rose Shenson Community Gallery behind the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, is our largest exhibit of the year, with over 100 paintings on show, and awards for the most outstanding.

SCVWS shows are open to the public, but only members may enter their paintings.

Midsummer's Art Celebration at the Triton Museum of Art

June 21, 2008, from 10am-6pm
On the grounds of the Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara

As you know, AVArtFest has been cancelled for 2008. The Triton Museum has decided to sponsor a one-day art event in its place in the same lovely location behind the Museum.

Participation is by invitation only, and SCVWS is one of the art clubs invited.

There are some important differences from AVArtFest to note. There is NO ENTRY FEE required. Also, there is NO JURYING required. All members can register with SCVWS for this event, whether you have been previously juried into AVArtFest, OR NOT.

SCVWS has 24 panels on which to display art and space will be allocated to each artist based on the final number of registered artists. However, we can only accommodate a maximum number of 48 artists (one side of a panel to each artist), so please register early if you intend to participate.

Interested SCVWS members should register by email to exhibits@scvws.org, or by mail to the organizer, Rajani Balaram.

Deadline for artist registration: April 23
