SCVWS Member Exhibits 2008
All SCVWS members are encouraged to participate in our Member Shows. Entry Forms are in your newsletter or online here. The smaller venues make a great opportunity for emerging artists to begin showing your work, and to learn about setting up a show. Our Annual Member Show, held at the Rose Shenson Community Gallery behind the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, is our largest exhibit of the year, with over 100 paintings on show, and awards for the most outstanding.
SCVWS shows are open to the public, but only members may enter their paintings.
