The art world had fundamental and dramatic revolutions in recent decades. On the one hand, there are no stricter rules and principles, and on the other hand, with the increasing the importance of role and idea, it seems that the aesthetic dimension has played just a plain role in at least some of the art works.To these cases, the phenomenon called mixed-media art in the art world must be added. In other words, the border between media and art disciplines has blurred more than ever, and this has created new options for art.
Art lovers and artists are also divided into two groups in the face of these developments; some are skeptical of it and have believed that is the end of art, while others see it as an opportunity. In any case, these festivals in art has made it more and more creative and innovative.Undoubtedly, we should consider these changes and we must respond to them intelligently. Hence, the Second Annual Sateen Visual Arts publishes its recall with emphasis on "new attitudes, new expression" which means creative and innovative encounters at the two levels of "the way of using the media" and "considering the issues" in the field of visual arts.
The second annual Sateen Visual Arts Festival is held in five disciplines: photography, sculpture, print making, painting, and new media (multimedia). All artists who feel this kind of innovative and creative approach to the media and the subject are invited to submit their art works to the festival.
The second annual Sateen Visual Arts festival, like the first annual festival, is held online in the first step, and then, if the limitations related to the pandemic are reduced, the selected art works will be displayed in the exhibition.
