Berlin Art Week: Artist Benefits
- The Right Audience: During Berlin Art Week, the city is filled with exactly the people artists need to reach: international collectors, curators, gallery owners, art critics, and dedicated art lovers. These individuals are actively seeking new talent and contemporary art.
- High-Impact Visibility: A digital billboard is a dynamic and unmissable format. It’s far more impactful than a small image in a magazine or a post in a crowded social media feed. It places the art in the public realm, demanding attention.
- Broad Public Reach: Beyond the art world professionals, the work will be seen by thousands of residents and tourists, dramatically increasing the artist’s name recognition.
About ArtSeen
ArtSeen is interesting because they directly address one of the biggest challenges in the contemporary art world: access. For decades, the path to gaining recognition has been controlled by a handful of expensive and exclusive systems, primarily the traditional art fair. Here’s what makes ArtSeen interesting and innovative:
- Democratise High-Stakes Visibility: The traditional art world often runs on who you know and how much you can afford to spend. A booth at a major art fair can cost an artist or gallery thousands, or even tens of thousands, of pounds. By using digital billboards, ArtSeen offers artists a high-impact presence at these same crucial events for a tiny fraction of the cost. It shifts the focus from an artist’s financial resources to the strength of their work.
- Turn the City Itself into a Gallery: ArtSeen believes art shouldn’t be confined to the quiet, and sometimes intimidating, white walls of a gallery. By placing art on public digital screens, we create unexpected, powerful encounters with creativity in the urban landscape. This takes art to the people, not the other way around. A collector walking to a meeting, a curator on their way to a fair, or a member of the public on their daily commute can be stopped in their tracks by a piece of art. It makes art a dynamic and integrated part of city life.
- Bridge the Digital and Physical Worlds for Artists: Artists today have a global digital reach through social media, but struggle to create a physical impact in international art capitals. ArtSeen provides that physical footprint without the logistical nightmare. An artist in Manchester, Kyoto, or Buenos Aires can have a monumental, tangible presence in Berlin during its most important art week, all without shipping a single piece of work. We use technology to break down geographical barriers.

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] Decatur Arts Alliance announces a call for artists for The Book As Art V.13: Mixed Messages, a juried exhibition.
International artists of all mediums may apply for the exhibition, which will be installed in the newly renovated Fourth Floor Gallery at the Decatur Branch of the DeKalb County Public Library, home to the Georgia Center for the Book.
The Book As Art series seeks to showcase beautifully made volumes, sculptural, and conceptual interpretations, as well as one-of-a-kind approaches to the book format and wall-hung interpretations.
Click here for the application / registration
Enter by: 16 June 2025
There is an application fee of $30, with which artists may submit up to 3 pieces for consideration. Each work requires its own unique application, but a coupon code is provided in the application instructions that permits 2 additional submissions without charge. For each application, artists are required to include 1 – 5 images of the submitted artwork and/or may include 1 video.
The Book As Art V.13: Mixed Messages is the thirteenth edition of an art show celebrating books: objects that, in an increasingly digital world, stubbornly survive. The objects in this exhibition should interpret the concept of the book and invite the viewer to look beyond the printed page to where ideas, words, and symbols are transformed and transfigured. Artists are challenged to embrace the dualities and paradoxes of communication—to celebrate the static and the shifting, the familiar and the foreign, the clear and the cryptic.
“Mixed Messages” draws on the layered complexities of language, saying one thing but meaning another. In a world inundated with myriad ways to communicate and connect, messages are muddled, signals crossed, and meanings distorted. Ambiguity is the native tongue of nuance. The book, as both object and idea, holds space for these contradictions.
The Book as Art is an annual showcase that’s made possible through partnership between the Decatur Arts Alliance, the Dekalb County Public Library, and the Georgia Center for the Book. Located in Downtown Decatur, Georgia, the exhibition is accessible to the greater Atlanta community and a free art experience for local residents and tourists.
The Book As Art Awards
- Best of Show: $1,000
- Gold Award: $700
- Silver Award: $500
Purchase awards totaling $2,500 are selected by the City of Decatur for inclusion in its public art collection. Local universities and institutions regularly purchase work from this exhibition.
Sales are encouraged. The Decatur Arts Alliance handles all sales and collects a 25% commission on all artwork sold as a result of this exhibition. All artwork for sale must be priced by the artist and so stated in the entry. Please be sure to include the 25% commission for the Decatur Arts Alliance in your price. The 8% Georgia sales tax will be added at the point of sale. Sales from the Fine Art Exhibition have increased each year and works from the exhibition have been added to private, corporate, and non-profit collections.
