AWI MEMBERSHIP
Founded in 1923, the Australian
Watercolour Institute is
Membership of the
Australian Watercolour Institute is by nomination and election at the AWI
Annual General Meeting.
The pre-requisite
for membership of the Australian Watercolour Institute is to be hung in our
annual AWI exhibition. There are two ways this can occur:
The first is to be invited as a guest artist.
The second is to have work selected as a non-member artist.
During the final
days of the annual exhibition, an AWI General Meeting is held and nominations
for membership are called. All guest artists and non-members whose works have
been hung in the annual exhibition are eligible.
Candidates are
required to submit a minimum of three framed works in watercolour/water-based
media, which have been executed within the last two years, and a current CV.
Members carefully
review the quality of the framed works submitted by each nominated artist and
subsequently vote by secret ballot. Only those members in attendance at the
Annual General Meeting are eligible to cast a vote.
Candidates who
receive over half the number of votes from those in attendance at the AWI General
Meeting are then invited to join the AWI.
This membership process is designed to
maintain the highest perceived possible standard
