Catalogues will be printed only if there are enough paid entries to cover the cost of catalogues. Selected Artists contributing and participating in the exhibition will be put into catalogues free of charge.

Catalogues is the best option for sculptors / ceramic artists / Installations artists as it is expensive to take these heavy objects abroad
1)All artists complete contact details will be printed on price tags of paintings during the exhibition. We have sold more than 100 paintings so far in our exhibitions and in 2008 we have sold 16 paintings and full amount has been paid to all artists

2) All art buyers are encouraged to directly contact you from exhibition hall itself

3)If paintings are sold,100% amount goes to respective artists without any deductions-No commission to anyone including us.

4)Full support of Indian Embassy and Indian cultural centre in Jakarta who every year arrange a grand opening ceremony and call all important VIPs and Indonesian and Indian business leaders. This year a grand dance program and a lavish dinner party was arranged for us by Indian Embassy and JNICC. We are deeply thankful to JNICC and Indian Embassy who encourage us every year.

5) Massive Publicity was in various media.

Four Indonesian and one Brirish artists also got selected for Olympics because of us.Olympics Art organizing committee has thanked us for our efforts by email and had even invited us to China and sent us Visa too but I could not go because of exhibition in Jakarta

Many Indian artists have applied for Switzerland residency program and Asian paintings award by Sovereign foundation in Hongkong.Wishing our artist all the best.

7)This is a Not-for-profit activity and selling paintings is not our goal even though we try hard for it. Connecting artists with art buyers and art galleries abroad is our MAIN GOAL. Those artists who are looking for SALE ONLY need not apply for the exhibition as they may get frustrated if there is no sale.
In 2007 more than 70 paintings were bought by Korean art buyers directly from artists who participated in our Jakarta exhibition.There was no commission paid to anyone including us. All artists directly dealt with Korean art buyers themselves.

Contemporary figurative arts as the hardest to create, the most beautiful to watch, and a bang for the buck!
and we are the proof...
