WHY CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS?
If an artist and a creative professional want to succeed in a professional career, one inevitably must compete with others. Competition is an effort to attain a certain high level of quality in one’s work, regardless of how others are doing.

There is an essential difference between a sense of taste and a sense of quality. We clearly understand it, respect and enjoy both. Therefore we want to apply the jurors’ knowledge of excellence in the creation of our exhibitions, empowering the use of the public’s understanding of taste by people who experience them.

ABOUT

The Arts Dot is a project designed to promote art, bring together local and international artists,  and to make a connection. The idea was to organise events dedicated to arts, as a means of communication and promotion of culture, do a mix of arts and businesses.

The Arts Dot is an annual international meeting point for artists and art lovers on a beautiful Blekinge archipelago on the south coast of Sweden.

The Arts Dot is an excellent opportunity for artists to show and sell works directly to the public and a platform for networking, gather together, exchange ideas with possibilities of work cooperation. Do communicate, discuss, engage and share their vision.

The Arts Dot is a nomadic space that materialises into a pop-up gallery & meeting space. Here is room for dialogues about art during the meeting. Artists share their experiences and talk about their work and career.

The meeting is a ‘living exhibition’ encouraging cross-disciplinary creative collaboration.
