In August, our hotel will transform into a temple of art!
We will host watercolor artists from around the world who will create, learn, and exchange experiences within our extraordinary interiors. Over 70 artists from 20 countries will attend the festival, and the works of the Masters participating in the event will be showcased in a collective exhibition in the "u Profesora" rooms. The history of Dwór Uphagena will also be the subject of one of the competitions.
We warmly invite you to visit!
About the project:

The festival will also feature the opening of exhibitions by the masters, the main winners and laureates of the project, as well as the finalists of the Step by Step project. And these are just some of the attractions awaiting our participants!
