Full Details and a prospectus are here -- see link below! Make time to visit the marsh and begin painting for the show, and save the dates of the show itself.
There will also be a reception and awards ceremony on Saturday, December 14th.
Active members may submit 2 paintings, plein air or studio. All work must be of the marsh, the gardens, buildings, or the birds and other wildlife at San Joaquin Marsh.
