Student Shows and Exhibitions


The Jacksonville Watercolor Society is calling on all young artists at Pine Forest Elementary School to participate in our 2024 Student Watercolor On-Line Show  

This is a juried show open to students in K through 5th grade. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards will be presented.

Entries will be submitted on-line by your parent or guardian through the Jacksonville Watercolor Society website from March 1 through 27, 2024. Paintings chosen for the final on-line show will be displayed on the JWS website in May of 2024. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners’ artwork will be provided to JWS for framing and display along with artwork of the members of the Jacksonville Watercolor Society at our Fall Watercolor Show at Christ Episcopal Church in Ponte Vedra. These paintings will be returned after that show.

There is no entry fee. One entry per student.

Work must be completed by the student in watercolor or a water-based medium. The painting size should be no larger than 15” X 11”. (The size of a quarter sheet of standard watercolor paper.)

 On Friday May 19, 2023, members the Jacksonville Watercolor Society visited Pine Forest Elementary School to present 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and honorable mention awards, along with certificates of appreciation to each of the young artists. The Jacksonville Watercolor Society would like to thank all the young artists who participated in our first ever Student On-Line Show and the parents and guardians who assisted with the entries. A big thank you also goes out to Pine Forest School’s art teacher, Ms. Moser, for her efforts in making this show possible. The students’ work is wonderful and the Jacksonville Watercolor Society is very happy to have the opportunity to display their work on our website. We love the watercolor medium and are so glad to see it alive and flourishing in the work of these young people. The award winning paintings were framed and displayed at our JWS Fall Show at Christ Episcopal Church in Ponte Vedra in October.  All entries  show the name of artist and title of painting and their grade at Pine Forest Elementary School for the Arts.   Click on the image for a full view of the painting and scroll through the gallery using right and left arrows.
