Ohio Watercolor Society 43rd Annual Juried Exhibition
The Piqua Public Library is proud to host the 2020 Ohio Watercolor Society 43rd annual juried exhibition. These thirty-one paintings are on display during May in the Rollin Gallery on the second floor of the Piqua Public Library. This annual exhibition is open to Ohio residents and members of Ohio art organizations living in neighboring states. The talented artists featured in the show use watercolor, acrylic, casein, gouache, and egg tempera. This is one of the premier art exhibits in Ohio, with awards of cash and materials totaling thousands of dollars.
The painting featured in our exhibit sign is "Golden Morning" by Kit Dailey.
We will be sharing photos of the exhibit on our social media channels -- but our photos will not do them justice! The paintings need to be seen in person to appreciate them fully.
