I’ve entered for the Olympics

Have you heard of ARTIADE - Olympics of Visual Art 2008 Beijing / Los Angeles?

Long, long ago when the Olympic games were held it was not only a meeting of athletes but also of artist. In other words, every Olympic nation will sends not only its athletes, but also its artists, who will reflect the cultural identity of their countries of origin.“…It is the artists’ works that tell us about life in the countries from which they come…” Gerhard Mack, (’art’ Magazine, Germany).

Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it. Artiade was re-introduced into the Olympic Games at the Atlanta in 1995 and again in 2004 in Athens. It is being held again on the occasion of the Olympics in Beijing and Los Angeles.

I’ve entered two pieces for the Artiade, River Sanctuary and Outside the Box. Of course there is whole jury of judges to go through to be accepted for the exhibition but at least I can say I’ve entered for the Olympics. :->
