About the Artiade:
The Artiade – Olympics of Art is an international exhibition designed to create new avenues for artistic expression outside the established routes, in order to encourage artists who might otherwise remain undiscovered and also to document contemporary society for posterity through the means of artistic endeavor. The intention of the Artiade is also to make art directly accessible to all, and to create an international meeting place for artists and art lovers. The main criterion for selection is the artists’ uniqueness of expression rather than any current international trends in art. The art reflects the diversity of the artists coming from different countries and cultures. The Artiade represents these nations’ intellectual and spiritual aspects in the form of art, conveying the collective of human society and thus communicating cultural identity.
