Dear all,

the 19th symposium of the ECWS has been held in Avignon (Provance – France) by SFA (Société Française de l’Aquarelle).

More than 200 hundred of paintings are on show at the Cloitre of St Louis until December 11, 2016.

Avignon is both a historic city with its Palace of the Popes and and, at the same time, a city where the culture is  present, modern, alive and dynamic. The Avignon Festival is the largest theater festival in the world. The exhibition takes place in  an ancient cloister, a magnificent monument in the heart of the old town : three levels to display our works, a cloister to seek shelter, to relax, and to meet.

During the symposium participants enjoied the city of Avignon, discovered the ochre quarries in Roussillon and painted together!
