About Us

"Awakening" - NSWS National Online Exhibition

Awakening is the NorthStar Watermedia Society’s spring online juried exhibition celebrating renewal, transformation, and creative emergence through watermedia. Artists are invited to explore moments of growth, clarity, and quiet revelation inspired by changing seasons and shifting inner landscapes.

Featuring a diverse range of watercolor, acrylic, ink, and mixed watermedia works, Awakening highlights both artistic technical skills and personal voice. Entries should represent a turning point—where light breaks through, ideas take root, and new perspectives begin to form. Together, the works will create a shared visual experience that honors resilience, hope, and the power of artistic renewal.
