A first time ever, four country travelling watercolor exhibition, ‘The Land of Tolerance’, is being organized here in UAE by the enthusiastic art community of watercolorists. This creative idea was crafted by Anna Massinissa (Curator of the International Watercolor Museum). It all began from FabrianoInAcquarello an event in Italy where artists come together to celebrate one of the biggest watercolor festivals in the world.
Atlas Printing Press is proud to be the print partners for “Watercolor in the Land of Tolerance”, a key platform to promoting arts in the GCC and Middle East!
From Fabriano, where the Art-friendship has already begun many years ago, the In Watercolor Itinerant Exhibition has crossed the oceans from Brazil to India, to reach UAE and then back to Fabriano/Italy again, where the International Watercolour Museum will be proud to welcome it to finish its journey.
UAE as a nation is celebrating the year 2019 as the ‘Year of Tolerance’. The theme of this very exhibition is also based on the same, as this place is the perfect example of how people from different countries live happily in perfect harmony regardless of their beliefs, cultures and languages.
The curator and country leader of this remarkable exhibition is Atul M Panase. He welcomed the special guest Abdulqader Alrais(Emirati, Master Artist) Khalil Abdulwahid (Director of Fine Arts Department, Dubai Culture & Arts Authority)and Mr. Amit Radia (CEO Atlas Group).
The event was inaugurated at Dubai International Art Center with works in watercolor by 80 international artists.
