International Watercolour Summit 2023 Canada Open Call

“STORIES IN LIGHT” International Watercolour contest

 Winners and Finalists of IWS Canada Contest 2023
Winners and Finalists of IWS Canada Contest 2023
We are pleased to announce the Finalists, (Top Prize winners to be annoucned soon) of the Stories in Light IWS Canada Exhibition, coming this fall to Port Coquitlam BC.
These were many of our favourites, although in no way do they reflect ALL the paintings we wanted to include, there were so many great works to choose from! 
Unfortunately we only have so much space on the walls, 
so here are the official invitees for the gallery showing in Port Coquitlam BC, Canada.
PLEASE NOTE: For the finalists, the option to provide a high resolution print to be shown in gallery instead of the physical painting is an acceptable alternative, as shipping prices are very high currently. This is the preferred way for us to display your work, especially if you are sending from very far away.
 
Congratulations to all the gallery selection Artists🎉🎉🎉
