Open democratic format of the competition gained popularity among artists mistrusting close character of other competitions.

Today, when many declare decline of art and the lack of perspectives, the ArtPreview competition exposed numerous works of talented artists. We believe this new project will be able to encourage the artistic community and return interest to the visual arts. The project helps to establish professional contacts, to discover new names, to attract attention of public and media. The competition has already helped to discover new talented artists. Their works attracted attention of  gallery owners and art critics. As a result several personal exhibition projects were announced.
