Art Calls Boomer Gallery: What Is Art | 8th Edition
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: January 5, 2025 – This Boomer Gallery exhibition is designed not merely to showcase art but to stimulate conversation between divergent paths within contemporary art. The aim is to prove that success in the art world is not a monolithic concept but a spectrum of possibilities, each as valid and valuable as the next.
The discourse on the nature of art in the 21st century has never been more intriguing. While some creators remain firmly rooted in the traditions of their craft, others boldly venture into uncharted territories, invoking a constant debate around the central question:
What Is Art? What makes it valuable?
