“International Contemporary Artists” art book invites artists from all over the world to submit their work for inclusion.

The book is an effective promotional tool for both established and emerging artists, offering new potentials and opening new markets for them.

A juried committee reviews the submissions on a daily basis and selects the best artists to be included in the book. Each one of them will show their work in a one-page layout which includes images of their work, an essay or statement and their contact information. When the editing process is over, the committee will choose the best two works, that will be presented in the front and the back cover of the book without cost.

Moreover, the best five artists among the ones presented in the book will be awarded with their personal art book, sponsored by I.C.A Publishing.

Artists can apply by sending 4-5 images of their work in JPG format, and a short statement or essay, no more than 100 words. Any additional information about this publication can be found here: www.incoartists.com. The book is distributed worldwide through major wholesalers, bookstores and online shops.

It is also distributed without cost to major galleries and museums all over the world, a list of which can be seen here: http://www.incoartists.com/galleries-n-museums

If you want to submit your work or if you have any questions about the book, please contact us.

Best regards
