2026 SIGNATURE MEMBERS SHOW PROSPECTUS
Juror of Selection & Awards:
We are pleased to announce that American award winning watercolor artist, and teacher, Tim Saternow will be the juror for the 2026 Signature Members Show. Tim’s paintings explore the lost and forgotten areas on the edges of the urban scene. His large architectural landscapes, filled with contrasting light and deep shadows, tell a powerful story of place and time. Tim is a signature member of numerous watercolor societies including the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. Mr. Saternow was awarded the 2019 Fellowship with The Clark Hulings Fund and is currently an Executive Fellow in the Clark Hulings Fund’s Art-Business Accelerator Program. Visit Tim's website to view some of his works. www.timsaternow.com

In 2020, the New England Watercolor Society opened their Exhibition Gallery at the Plymouth Center for the Arts. This gallery is the permanent home for a revolving series of exhibitions from various groups of NEWS members and will increase the public exposure and sales opportunities for our members. All exhibitions at the NEWS/PCA Gallery will be juried*. Acceptances into NEWS Gallery Exhibitions will not count as qualifying entries for Signature Membership status. Neither the New England Watercolor Society nor the Plymouth Center for the Arts shall be held liable for any loss or damage. Submissions will be made through Smarter Entry.
*To ensure unbiased judging, every NEWS Gallery exhibition will have an independent juror assigned.
