Therefore, the Illinois Watercolor Society Board of Directors are proud to extend to you ‘Signature Membership’ in the Illinois Watercolor Society. As the executive director, I wish to congratulate you on behalf of the Board of Directors. Because of your outstanding accomplishment you have earned the privilege of using the initials, IWS, on your works of art and communications effective immediately. Signing your paintings with the IWS initials after your name recognizes your status not only in the watercolor community but also in the world of fine art everywhere. This year the IWS will honor all the artists that are receiving Signature status this year in a special ceremony that will take place during the awards reception of this year’s National Exhibition in Dixon on May 10.
