ARTISTS RECEPTION & AWARD CEREMONY
Sunday, October 1, 2023 • 4:00-6:00 PM
Highland Art Studios & Gallery
All BWS Members and their guest are invited to attend

This annual juried art show originated as a cooperative effort between the Brevard Watercolor Society (BWS) and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) in 2006 and has continued yearly as a favorite show.  There are two categories, Flora (landscapes, waterscapes, plants and flowers) and Fauna (living and breathing creatures) that occur naturally in Florida. The show was juried by local artist AnnMarie Zink. Awards were presented for Best of Show and several awards in each category.

In previous years, the artists’ submissions were displayed at the MINWR Visitor Center on Kennedy Space Center. However due to planned construction at the Visitor Center, the event for 2023 has moved to the Eau Gallie Arts District.

2022 Winners: Best of Flora – Therese Ferguson and the Best of Fauna – Lynn Tweed!
