Country: Italy
About me
It is the first Museum completely dedicated to the contemporary international watercolor and it is located in Fabriano, Italy, the place where this pictorial technique matches up with the paper making tradition, which is the main local excellence since the thirteenth century.
For over a decade this City in the Marche region hinterland has organized many international events dedicated to the world of water painting and has hosted a large number of contemporary artists and masters, who now acknowledge this territory as the potential capital of Aquarello.
The Museum was thus born as a testimony to an artistic experience of international relations and aesthetic reciprocity, by applying Relational Art to events in which masters and artists share projects and experiences, apply the technique and overwhelm it, giving the painting the role of interpretative language to better connect every culture.
The exhibition halls host a collection of over 800 works. A very interesting collection with traditional watercolor together with innovative paintings and also pictorial applications from international schools, a collection that will grow in the future thanks to new collaborations with other countries around the world.
The museum aims to be the container of the works that bear witness to the art of contemporary watercolor, but also a place of activity through temporary exhibitions, many workshops, technique demostrations, conferences for the Waterpaint world, so that it might achieve the right artistic visibility and grow in technique and contamination towards a future that will hopefully be less traditional, very interesting and, finally, innovative.
Today the museum
