Art Limitless

Art Limitless is a new programme within the BE OPEN Art online gallery tailored specifically to display the competitions, webinars, master-classes and other sources of knowledge and guidance on sustainability in arts.

For the second half of 2026, the Art Limitless programme will be dedicated to SDG#12 of the United Nations Sustainable Development programme. The goal is Responsible Consumption and Production, and it aims to fundamentally change how goods are produced and consumed to reduce our ecological footprint, promote resource efficiency, and transition to a circular economy.

The creative sector can play an immense role in this by leading the way with ideas of sustainable creation, waste reduction, and public awareness and inspiration. Artists can not only encourage sustainable social, economic, and environmental practices across the world, but actively challenge ecological footprints by rethinking material sourcing, using creative expression to inspire systemic change by incorporating recycled materials and repurposing discarded items.

To put such artists and their creations into the spotlight, BE OPEN Art is posting selected artwork at the online gallery below, inviting the public to vote and select the Artist of the Month. One of these will become the winner based on the amount of votes by the public and the art community members. The award will consist of a 1000 euro grant as well as the visibility BE OPEN will be able to provide across social and traditional media.

Another prize of 500 euro will be allocated by BE OPEN’s Founder Elena Baturina, and the awardee of the public vote prize of 300 euro will be decided upon by an open online vote at the gallery’s website.

The Art Limitless programme was launched in 2025, with the first year dedicated to inclusivity in arts. The gallery highlighted artwork by artists with disabilities that demonstrated the beneficial power of creativity and inclusivity. Selected artwork has been posted at the gallery every month: three winners were selected at the end of the year and awarded money prizes.
