LONDON, July 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BE OPEN Art, an
online gallery set up by Elena
Baturina's humanitarian think-tank BE OPEN, continues to run
BE OPEN Regional Art, the regional competition for emerging
artists aimed to support those whose art best represents their
regional, cultural and ethnic identities.
Throughout 2024, BE OPEN expert community will continue
selecting those artists who best represent the artistic tradition
of a certain region to feature in the BE OPEN Art gallery and offer
them greater visibility.
The third stage of the second year of the programme run will
cover the countries of Central
America: Belize,
Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.
The stage will traditionally last three months, and the regional
winner for Central America will be
announced and awarded 500 euro at the
end of September 2024. In the
meantime, artworks by 20 emerging artists from the listed countries
will be posted at the online gallery every month, and a public vote
will select the Regional Artist of the Month. At the end of the
stage, one of the monthly winners will become the Artist of the
Region, based on the amount of votes by the public and the BE OPEN
art community members.
Later in 2024, BE OPEN Regional Art will travel to
Southern Africa.
The regional competition runs alongside the regular ongoing work
of BE OPEN Art, whose experts every month select 20 new artists for
the gallery, using online voting to name the Artist of the Month
and the Artist of the Year.
Aiming to support emerging talent, BE OPEN Art selects artists
at an early stage of their career who emphasize social
consciousness and aesthetical solutions to the wrongs of the
contemporary world. The project sees its mission in looking for new
influencers in the art scene, and invites everyone to
contribute.
BE OPEN is a global initiative to foster creativity and
innovation, a think-tank whose mission is to promote people and
ideas today to build solutions for tomorrow. It is a cultural and
social initiative supported by Austria-based international philanthropist and
businessperson Elena Baturina.
