  • This year we are inviting our International network of Artists to come to Australia and interact with us in Cairns Australia over the period of the Australian Watercolour Muster Biennale - 2023, so creating opportunities for us to network and grow our contacts and relationships internationally and vice-versa for visiting Artists.
  • The Australian Watercolour Muster Curator and Team - collaborate with the Curatorial Team of FabrianoInAcquarello -Italy to release information and invitations to Australian Artists to be part of the FabrianoInAcquarello - Italy 'Call' for Artists and this year 2023 - we have 37 Artists selected to showcase their Work in Italy from the period 23 April 2023 to end of July 2023 >>>> click through here and insert the word 'Australia' into the search filter to see our current Artists about to head off to Italy for FabrianoInAcquarello - Italy 2023 or browse the amazing Work from over 80 Countries
