Juried Exhibitions
WSO holds juried exhibitions of members' paintings at the Spring
and Fall Conventions. Members are
invited to submit paintings to be juried by nationally recognized
artists. Eighty paintings are chosen for each show and are published
in a 28 page, color Exhibition Catalog. Of those, twenty are selected
by the juror to receive awards and travel throughout the state.
Award winning paintings tour the state
of Oregon for six months. |
