Minnesota Watercolor Society 2025 Spring Juried Exhibition
April 10 – May 16, 2025
Minnetonka Center for the Arts
The theme of “Reflections” was chosen for the 2025 spring show because it defines many ways an artist can work within the creative process. A painting reflects the artist; what they are thinking about; what is interesting or important to them; who they are. The artist has the freedom to express their reflections or thoughts literally or emotionally in their painting. They may work realistically or abstractly or with whatever speaks to them. We look forward to seeing the reflections of our members’ best work in the 2025 spring exhibition!
The Exhibition is open to Members of MNWS. If you are not a current member, you may join at registration. The Prospectus/Registration for the 2025 spring exhibition is available here: https://www.minnesotawatercolors.com/current-prospectus/
