Tennessee Watercolor Society (TnWS), a statewide artists’ organization, will showcase 50 original watercolor paintings selected by distinguished juror, Don Andrews. While the paintings include a wide variety of styles and subject matter, all are completed using a watermedia on paper, which is the founding requirement of all entries into the prestigious Biennial Exhibition.

TnWS has more than 250 members throughout Tennessee, encompassing five regions centered around the principal cities of Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and the Tri-Cities. The biennial exhibition locations are rotated around the state. At the close of the 2024 exhibition in Knoxville, 30 paintings will be selected by the juror to travel to other art venues around the state for the remainder of the year. The traveling exhibit has been funded by a grant from the Lyndhurst Foundation since 2014. Juror Don Andrews of Austin, Texas is an accomplished watercolor artist and book author who has garnered numerous national and international awards and published several books on watercolor methods.

Highly coveted prizes will be awarded during the annual TnWS Membership Meeting on Saturday, May 18, including a $2,000 cash award for Best of Show. For more information, visit www.tnws.org.
