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.
WHAT IS MY FEE USED FOR?
The Arts Dot is a non-profit activity running by artists and for artists. All proceeds from entry and participating fees fund project-related expenses to make the international artists meeting happen.
