The Biennale will run from 13 November to 19 December 2026, with its main venue being the Centro de Arte Juan Ismael in Puerto del Rosario. It is organised by the AnimArte association, under the direction of Luciano Colucci. Under the theme 'Acuarelas sin fronteras' (Watercolours without Borders), it aims to bring together artists from different countries and traditions, with colour and technique serving as a common language. The participants will demonstrate their working methods through demonstrations, workshops and live painting sessions.

The opening evening runs from 17:30 to 19:30 and takes place in the Sala de Conferencias Juan Ismael. It includes the official opening of the Biennale and a tribute to the participating artists.

The supporting programme for the following weekend: On Saturday, 14 November, from 10:30 to 12:30, artists from Mexico, Italy and the Canary Islands will work in pairs on a large-format canvas. At 17:30, a master artist from Mexico will demonstrate his technique, followed by one from Italy at 18:30; each demonstration will last approximately 50 minutes. On Sunday, 15 November, there will be an open-air painting session from 10:00 to 14:00, open to participants; the location on Fuerteventura has yet to be confirmed. In the afternoon, there will be two demonstrations by masters from the Canary Islands at 17:30 and 18:30.
