“Around The World” is a collective journey through art as a travel diary. This online and virtual art exhibition invites artists from diverse backgrounds and art practices to share works that embody the spirit, culture, and atmosphere of different countries. Each piece becomes a passport stamp — a visual record of landscapes, traditions, and personal encounters that transcend borders.

This show celebrates art as a universal language, offering viewers the chance to wander through continents. From bustling cityscapes and serene countrysides to intimate cultural rituals and abstract impressions of places, the exhibition highlights how creativity captures the essence of travel and belonging. The artworks submitted must reference or be inspired by a specific country, culture, or travel experience.

We welcome artworks from all mediums of visual art, except AI-created art, and video/film.
