• Types of allowable media and grounds may include any water-soluble medium or combination of water-soluble media on any ground that accepts water-soluble media (e.g., paper, Yupo, canvas or prepared board).
• Entries must not have been shown previously in any Open Exhibition. Previous juried entries are allowed.
• Entries must be well-presented by the artist for gallery showing, including simple framing and white or off-white mats only. If MSW deems a painting’s framing or other presentation method is below the necessary standard, MSW will attempt to work with the artist toward the needed improvement.
