RSW
Forfar Welcomes The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours
The annual celebration of Scottish watercolour painting - 129th Annual Exhibition by the RSW - this year visits the Royal Burgh of Forfar for the first time.
The exhibition, which is open to any artist to submit work, will be held in the newly refurbished Meffan Institute, 20 West High Street, Forfar from 15th August to 12th September 2009, with a selection of works from the show by RSW Members being exhibited in Arbroath and Montrose from 26th September to 24th October 2009.
This attractive and popular exhibition will feature an exciting mix of work by many of Scotland’s leading artists as well as paintings by new emerging artists. Artists Helen Wilson and Caroline Hussey will be showing invited new work, inspired by recent RSW Residencies at Hospitalfield House in Arbroath, which the Society has supported for ten years, as will George Devlin, winner of the new Rendezvous Gallery/JK Davidson Residency Award.
The Society presents an impressive range of awards, including the £3,000 Alexander Graham Munro Travel Award for the best work by an exhibitor under the age of thirty and an exhibition award sponsored by the Riverside Gallery, Stonehaven - see details in
