Since 2016, the Philippine Guild of Watercolorists holds an annual convention where they provide an exposition of the works of passionate artists through watercolor as a medium, and aims to empower its members with new techniques, spread joy to the community, and inspire aspirations by telling stories through art.
This year, they, as ambassadors of hope, will paint the most aspiring colors through an exhibition entitled, Hues of Hope.
