ABOUT

I want to Believe 2021 is an international juried fine art dual opportunity, emphasizing what we believe in and how it affects us throughout our lives.  

Believe, and you'll find your way.

Beliefs are as old as humanity itself. Our ancestors believed in higher power or deities and worshiped them. In the modern era, the concept of belief has broadened, and now it includes religions and philosophical and spiritual ways of life. 

Many believe in God, deities, themselves, love, peace, family, friendship, science, technology, ethics, and morality, and the list goes on, while others believe in nothing. 

For I want to Believe 2021, we are looking for your artistic interpretation of beliefs, share your visual expression of what you believe in and show us how it affected your life and thoughts.

This dual opportunity of exhibition and publication is open to all artists and mediums worldwide. The selected artworks will be showcased by Gallerium and published in The Book of Arts publication. 

It is free to submit your abstract or figurative art, and only the selected artists will be asked to pay a small selection fee.
