Watercolor Exhibition

The Hidalgo Watercolor Society will open its annual exhibition with a reception on Sat. January 14 from 7-9 p.m. All works in the exhibit will be original watercolor paintings created by the Society’s members. The public will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite painting. The work chosen will receive the “People’s Choice Award” and will become the image used to promote next year’s exhibition. Members paint together in the Artlink building on Fridays. In conjunction with the January exhibition, HWS sponsors a week-long watercolor workshop, taught by a visiting artist. The exhibition runs through Feb. 8, and is free and open to the public. The gallery is open Tues-Fri 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sat. 2 to 6 p.m. Please call to confirm hours. HWS operates under the auspices of the Upper Valley Art League which is a membership-based nonprofit arts organization dedicated to teaching, preserving and inspiring the arts in the RGV.
