The Pawleys Island Art Gallery will present "Painters' Palettes," the annual exhibition of artwork by members of the Georgetown County Watercolor Society. The exhibition will open on August 1 and continue through August 30, 2025. A reception will be held at the gallery on August 8, from 5-7:00pm. This is the 37th year for the annual event, which will be judged by award winning Charleston artist, Carolyn Epperly.
The theme of this year's exhibition is "Painters' Palettes," which leaves a wide land for interpretation. The group is expecting to have around 40 entries, as their membership continues to grow. The Society membership includes watercolor, acrylic and gouache.
The judge, Carolyn Epperly, has enjoyed both national and international recognition. Her many awards have gained her signature status in two prestigious watercolor societies of the United States, National Watercolor Society (NWS), and Watercolor USA Honor Society (WHS). She is an Artist of Excellence for the state's society, South Carolina Watermedia Society (SCWS), having served on the board for 12 years and as President in 2011.
