"The international watercolor community has come a long way since its inception in 2012. We have successfully registered more than 80 branches worldwide and we are still growing. This confirms the fact that art can unite people, despite the distances and differences of races, religions, and cultures. Our activity is focused on the promotion of watercolors, our mission is to create a watercolor brotherhood and peace. We can see how a stable relationship is being formed between the member countries of the COMMUNITY. We also see how a brotherhood is born between artists. We thank everyone for this success and look forward to your continued support in the future.

IWS will continue to focus on peace, harmony, love and understanding, which will be reflected in our upcoming COMMUNITY events: festivals, competitions and exhibitions. We will also focus on helping IWS affiliates develop affordable strategies and ways to promote art and watercolors in their own countries.
We are working hard to improve the COMMUNITY."

Atanur Dogan, IWS founder and President
