World of Watercolor and Beyond is coming to Fallbrook

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Art Center proudly presents the 9th annual Signature American International Watermedia Exhibition in The Janice Griffiths Gallery. The show features an expanded presentation of 120 paintings, all created by Signature Member Artists who hail from across the United States, Malaysia and Singapore-a true representation of the 'best of the best' selected from over 398 entries by Illinois based juror Ratindra Das (AWS-DF, NWS).

This show is the only one of its kind in the U.S. limited to artists who have been awarded 'Signature Level Membership' status in one or more U.S. Societies. Works in the show offer a wide range of subject matter, techniques and styles (experimental to traditional).

An additional show, 'Washes of Color' featuring works by Robin Erickson, Linda Doll, and Carol Mansfield, is presented in the Salon and Lehmann Galleries.

Awards for this show total $15,000 and visitors will have a chance to choose their own favorite with a 'People's Choice Award' that will be announced at the end of the show. An online catalog of all the works in the Signature Show can be found at fallbrookartcenter.org.
