We will be exhibiting at the Wildwood Library, 763 Stillwater Rd, Mahtomedi, MN 55115. All members are encouraged to participate and the first 60 members to register will be admitted. The exhibition will be juried for awards, and we will be giving $700 in cash awards for exceptional achievement in painting. In addition to the traditional awards, we will give a special award in honor of Bea Kotz, a past president of NSWS.
