April – June 2024: Middle Eastern Artists

In 2024, BE OPEN Art continues to run BE OPEN Regional Art, the regional competition for emerging artists, aimed to support those whose art best represents their regional, cultural and ethnic identities. Throughout the year, the BE OPEN expert community will continue selecting those of the artists who best represent the artistic tradition of a certain region to feature in the BE OPEN Art gallery and offer them greater visibility. The second stage of the second year of the programme run will cover the countries of Middle East: Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Vote for the Regional Artist of the Month

Each regional stage lasts 3 months, with a winner named and awarded 500 euro at the end of month three.
