To the current issue of The Forum

Art Without Borders, an international artists' network, was created by Bulgarian sculptor Valentin Vassilev and U.S. sculptor/painter Rafael Arrieta-Eskarzaga after their 1993 - 1994 two-man exhibitions in Mexico. Its purpose is to present contemporary art from the viewpoint of the artist as well as to offer artists a forum to communicate their perceptions of art and their outlook on life.

Art Without Borders: The Forum will feature the work and/or reflections of contemporary international artists including, but not limited to, architects, musicians, novelists, painters, photographers, poets, and sculptors. It will contain some selections in the artist's native language as well as translations into English and Spanish.

The Forum is absolutely free to participating artists. All artists are professional. People interested in an artist's work may contact him/her directly. Vassilev and Arrieta-Eskarzaga are not agents nor do they represent any artist. Artists may have gallery affiliations and all work is protected under international copyright law.
