Painting Jam Session, Italy

Last weekend there was a big Italian Get together of artists in the town San Pietro in Casale near Bologna. The painting jam session was organized by artist Piera di Maio, she did an amazing job to gather allthis wonderful talents. Piera invited the WBA Chairman Alex Barendregt with Artist Manager Anna as a special surprize for the jam session participants and we were very warm welcomed. On that day we have seen 30 artists and models. Together with a hand full of great photographers they captured some world class artworks and after an exhausting and exciting day, everyone sat together for dinner, drinks and fun talks with a lot of laughter. We were honoured and happy to be a part of such an amazing group and enjoy talks about the stunning art they all created as well as about the future Championship at the WBF 2023. Thank you very much for the wonderful day!

Dear Members, if you have activities like this, please let us know and we will feature a story on that here as well.
