The Durham Arts Council is thrilled to be hosting the WSNC Annual Juried Exhibition! Juror Kathleen Conover chose 70 paintings from the 300 plus submitted. Thirty (30) of these paintings will be selected to be in the WSNC’s Traveling Exhibition, which tours across North Carolina, showcasing the beautiful award-winning works for the next year. WSNC strive throughout the year to create a painting they hope will be chosen for this one-a-year exhibition. This Annual Exhibition introduces outstanding, award-winning WSNC paintings. The viewer will experience varied, fun and eclectic creations of each artist while gaining a greater appreciation for watercolor and for the exceptional talent in our State.
