The founder and President of the International Watercolour Society, renowned artist Atanur Dogan, has paid an official visit to Baku as part of the International Watercolour Festival, Azernews reports.

During his visit, he proposed granting international status to the watercolour gallery located at the Khatai Arts Centre. From now on, the gallery will operate under the name "Khatai International Watercolour Gallery."

The gallery's exhibition draws on its own collection, including art pieces by both Azerbaijani masters and artists from around the world.

Visitors can see a variety of watercolour art from various schools and movements, and also purchase their favourite pieces. With its new status, the Khatai International Watercolour Gallery will become an open platform for collaboration between local and international watercolourists, exhibitions, creative exchanges, and joint projects.

The gallery invites artists from around the world to collaborate, striving to popularise global watercolour art and advance the Azerbaijani watercolour school internationally.

Media partners of the event are Azernews, Trend, Day, and Milli.
