Message from from the President

We hope that youre busy painting some masterpieces for our upcoming Splash exhibition.

Entry forms are included with this newsletter. Alternatively, you can complete your entry form online through our website. You may enter up to three paintings. The Terms and Conditions set out all the relevant information concerning the exhibition. Please read them carefully before completing the entry form. Entry forms need to reach us by 30 September 2017.

Delivery day for paintings sent by courier is Friday 6 October. If you are delivering the paintings to the Academy yourself, receiving day is Tuesday 10 October, between 11 am and 2 pm. Please make sure you unpack your paintings and take the packaging away with you.

Were continuing with our Junior Section for artists under 18. This attracted a lot of favourable comment last year. These young artists are the future of watercolour.

Wed love to hear from you if you can help us with the exhibition, either during the set-up (10 October to 13 October), or with minding the exhibition (14 October-29 October) or with the pack out (from 5pm on 29 October). Were an organisation of volunteers and the more help we get from our members the more it eases the burden on those stalwarts who put so much work into making our exhibitions a success.

Were delighted at the number of new members weve been gaining recently and also that so many of you are from outside of Wellington more than 80% of those who have signed up since our last Newsletter. We cant yet boast that we have members from North Cape to the Bluff, but our membership does extend from Whangarei to Southland.

We look forward to seeing your best work in this years Splash.

John Toft
President, Watercolour New Zealand Inc.
