This residency focuses on contemporary watercolor art, inviting artists to push the boundaries of their creativity. With access to dedicated space, premium materials, and the freedom to explore, participants can immerse themselves in artistic expression, deepen their knowledge, and forge meaningful connections within a vibrant community of fellow artists.
