11th International Watercolour Biennial “Baltic Bridges” – Open Call for Participation

11th International Watercolour Biennial

“BALTIC BRIDGES. 2026. INFINITY”

November–December 2026, Kaunas, Lithuania

We are accepting applications until 1 September 2026

We invite watercolour artists from Lithuania and around the world to participate in the 11th International Watercolour Biennial “Baltic Bridges”, whose main juried exhibition is dedicated to the theme “INFINITY”.

The 2026 project invites artists to immerse themselves in the boundless oceans of imagination and creative exploration.

Infinity is a journey from here to there, from yesterday to tomorrow.
It is the endless flow of thoughts, the vibration of colours, the horizons of dreams, hopes and expectations. It is the moment when water, pigment and the artist’s hand merge into a unique story about that which has no boundaries.

We invite you to explore watercolour as a living, ever-changing medium where new forms, unexpected discoveries and endless interpretations are born.
