VAM ART, Inc. (www.vamartinc.com) is pleased to announce the planning of its 8 th Contemporary Art Exhibition titled CONFLUENCE 2014.

We encourage artists to submit their Artist CV along with jpg file images of their recent works. VISION: Fear and uncertainty pervades most modern men and can lead to the erosion of human values and love for fellow beings. As universal modes of expression, music and art have played key roles in cultural evolution. Today’s cultural expressions are considered to be visual records of present social and political life . Many aspects will be decoded by future generations to recognize the quality of life we lead today. Therefore, the responsibility of today’s artists is significant enough not to be discarded by future generations. Art and life are interwoven as with many other disciplines. Akin to science and philosophy, art has the power to positively influence humanity. Irrespective of subjectivity and medium, art from any location transmits an energy that is universal. This universal aspect of art is important when considering the fact that one of the purposes of art is to soothe the wounded and desperate. The number of artists worldwide who incorporate ideas and research from other genres is vastly increasing. Today’s artworks reflect the assimilation of a multitude of subjects and disciplines. This sense of compendium in creativity is a good sign of progress in many different faculties - including art.
CONCEPT: Our goal is to showcase works of art that are experimental in content and medium without sacrificing the essential purity and sanctity of aesthetics. Artist’s submissions can belong to any genre: Painting, digital art, sculpture, graphic productions etching and photographs. We encourage artists to submit up to five images of their latest artworks along with details for review. Once selected, artists should have their works properly prepared for exhibition.
