The 4th PGW National Watercolor Convention 2021 and Annual Members Juried Exhibit is the continuation of the annual tradition for the Philippine Guild of Watercolorists (PGW). This year’s theme is Hues of Hope.
HUES OF HOPE In times that are uncertain, we find hope in what’s certain: a sense of community held together by passion, joy, and optimism.
This year, PGW continues its mission to further the passion for watercolor, empower our members with new techniques, spread joy to the community, and inspire aspirations by telling our stories through art. As ambassadors of hope, the community shall paint the year with the most inspiring colors – Hues of Hope.
The Annual Members Juried Exhibit had 93 participants in total and were sent to International Artist Jurors. Of the 93, 55 members were accepted for the exhibition however, due to the constraints of quarantine guidelines during this pandemic, the physical exhibit will be postponed and the 55 juried artworks may instead be viewed virtually on the Official Convention page on its launch this September 2.
The convention will be comprised of a month-long series of virtual activities and demos from renowned artists from the local and international art community. It is open to members of the Philippine Guild of Watercolorists and non-members for a minimal fee.
It can be accessed via an exclusive Facebook Group where the virtual demos and activities will be streamed live. Should an attendee wish to view the demos at a much later time, the videos will remain in the Facebook Group for as long as the convention duration but for an additional fee, they will have a lifetime access to the videos.
LRI Design Plaza will be opening the physical exhibit at their gallery area on September 2, 2021, 2pm. Although there will be no formal physical exhibit opening as this will be done virtually, the public may be able to visit and view the paintings of the 55 juried exhibitors. They may also purchase the paintings should they wish to do so.
The convention will run from September 2 up to September 30, 2021.
