Why should I appear in this book? What are the benefits?

Being in a juried art book, where the artists are of high caliber, offers numerous benefits:

1. It is a prestigious and professional way to present your work to galleries, collectors, selection committees, juries and potential buyers.
2. Being included in such a publication, which not only presents your work, but places you among other highly regarded artists.
3. It increases the commercial value of your work.
4. It provides gallery owners with an effective tool to more easily sell your work and at a better price.

Why do I have to pay to appear in the book?

Artists who are approved, must pay inclusion fee. The reason is that the book is basically delivered for free and when sold, it is at a cost price, so there is no profit through sales. Every year we send 1,000 copies to galleries, collectors, designers, art fans, museums, libraries etc.

If you really like my art, you must accept me for free!

No artists are accepted for free. No matter how good and famous they are! The book is to the benefit of the artists only. It offers them a valuable tool to promote themselves. 

We are not a public service organization. We are a private company. We offer services and we charge for them. 

Many of the artists in our books are sponsored by public organizations, Universities, Banks, private companies etc. 

We provide the artists who have been approved, with helpful information of what a sponsor gets in return of sponsoring an artist so as to present the idea to potential sponsors
