If you are able to submit a jpg of your painting, LWS will be able to use it on Facebook and Instagram to publicize the show.  However, this is optional. *** Thank you for sending your titles by March 1 so that we can make the gallery labels for your paintings.

The rules have been updated to allow artists to enter the same paintings in both the Archives and Oak Knoll Shows since they are in different cities.   To clarify, please note that a work may be entered in both the Archives and Oak Knoll Member Shows (provided it did not win an award).  A work can always be entered in the International Exhibit whether or not it has won an award and as long as it is less than 3 years old.
