Artiade – Olympics of Art is a biennial international art exhibition open to artists from every country in the world. Works are selected through a process in which the jury does not know who created them. No names, no reputations, no gallery affiliations – artistic merit alone determines participation.
Founded in 1996, Artiade has taken place across three continents over three decades. It is the only major international art exhibition where emerging and established artists compete on equal terms, selected purely on the strength of their work.
Artiade is a non-profit cultural institution. The exhibition is free to attend, charges no fees to visitors, and operates independently of commercial art markets. Each edition is made possible by sponsors who share the mission of bringing nations together through artistic excellence.

How Artists Are Selected
Artiade’s jury evaluates every submitted work without knowing who created it. Artist identity, background, and representation are withheld during the review process. An emerging artist from any nation competes on the same terms as an established name from a major art capital. No gallery representation is required. No connections, no appointments, no commercial gatekeeping. The work speaks for itself.
