About World Wide Art Books

Despina Giannopoulou - Tunberg, Curator, is an award winning artist who has appeared in many exhibitions around the world and for many years enjoyed owning art galleries in Greece and the USA. She has also organized exhibitions and art festivals in museums and galleries in many countries and she has curated numerous publications.

World Wide Art Books, established in 1996, brings Despina's passion for presenting talented artists onto the printed page with her publication International Contemporary Masters. This year she has launched another publication, the Dictionary of Artists which represents the greatest volume of talent ever organized in a convenient directory.

In addition to her successful print publications, for five successive years she has organized the annual art festival in Chania, Crete, Greece, where more than 150 artists from all over the world participated each year. The event generates signifigant media exposure for the participating artist on T.V., radio, and daily periodicals—giving many of the artists a boost in their careers. Despina has also organized exhibitions at the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Arts in Las Vegas and is currently working on many more upcoming events. Artists who are interested in participating in our publications should contact Despina here through the website.
