Official opening was on June 8 at 6 pm
For the general public the exposition was open from June 9, 2013 onwards
The Gemeentemuseum in The Hague and Stichting ArtWorlds have organized the ‘Summer Expo’ for the third year in a row. The country’s largest visual arts exhibition was put together through an open invitation for artworks.
Established and non-established artists competed for a space in the ‘Summer Expo 2013’. The theme for submissions was ‘Earth’. 1700 artists contributed around 3000 individual works of art. The exhibition will be held from June 8 to September 15 in the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. The pre-selections took place in Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Rotterdam.
This year 239 works were offered for sale in the museum. Just like in London’s Royal Academy of the Arts Summer Exhibition, this show will allow the general public to purchase the artworks. The organization wants to encourage the general public to buy art and it also offers artists the chance to sell their work to a larger public audience.

My painting ‘Beyond Borders’ was selected during the pre-selection round in Rotterdam on April 6. During the course of the exhibition you had the opportunity to vote for my artwork or any of the other artworks. On the last day of the exhibition was a Prize Giving Ceremony to celebrate the most nominated work of art selected by the public.
