Q: Does it cost anything to submit?
A: No. But we also don’t pay a fee for your contribution.
Q: What kind of art does this book cover?
A: Original artworks and art prints. New media and performance art could also be included but not the focus of the book.
Q: Does it only cover high-level exhibitions?
A: We cover all the levels, especially events held by artists in their emerging phase, which makes them relatable. Both group shows and solo shows, both in the developed and developing countries are welcome. Ideally, this exhibition took place in the last two years.
Q: Who can contribute to the book?
A: Artists, art critiques, art dealers, curators, art lovers, basically anyone! You need to give at least one piece of advice to other fellow artists regarding showcasing their art, accompanied by at least three photos. You need to sign a contributor agreement in order to grant us permission to use your copyrighted materials. If the photo is taken by someone else (like a photographer), we also need a release form from the copyright holder.
Q: How to contribute?
A: Fill the form on our website. You can fill on the behalf of someone as long as you have their permission.
Q: Would my contribution go into the book?
A: Only the best examples that give the most value to other fellow artists will be included in the book. If it is not in the book, we would publish it on our social media or website.
Q: Can my event appear under two different categories?
A: Ideally a place only appears in one of the categories, not in both. For example, a book store gallery is both a book store and a gallery, but it would go into one of the chapters whichever one is more suitable.
Q: How to maximize my chance of appearing in the book?
A: Give accurate information and high resolution images.
Q: I went to a museum and took some photos. Can I write about it as a reviewer without their permission?
A: Writing about a public museum exhibition and including your own photos of the exhibit in a book can fall under fair use in many jurisdictions, depending on how you present the content and how the laws are applied. If you can’t clear the permissions, we can publish it on social media which is generally okay.
