Today, when the world is focused mainly on visual content, the visual arts are coming to the fore. However, the modern artist has to live in conditions of fierce competition. And this is where the opportunity to show your work in one of the three world capitals of art – London, New York or Los Angeles – becomes a huge advantage.

Therefore, we are happy to give members of the Eurasian Creative Guild (London) not only a unique opportunity to publish their paintings in an art catalog that will be published in London, but also to distribute the published catalog to 10 leading art galleries in London!

What works can be included in the catalog:

• paintings in traditional techniques (painting, graphics), as well as digital paintings;
• illustrations (traditional and digital);
• collages (traditional and digital);
• artistic photography;
• unique reportage shooting;
• fashion photography;
• fashion illustration;
• sculpture;
• costumes and accessories (photos of finished products);
• jewelry;
• objects of decorative and applied arts and crafts.

The catalogue format:

• Hard cover (yes, so cool!);
• Full color printing;
• Edition size 300×300 mm
