The
“Enter into Art” exhibition period 2017-18 features 219 artists
from 49 countries on five continents. All images submitted by artists
are also presented in folders in our “Atelier Corner” (usually
including two further images per artist). In
addition, we have integrated the solo exhibitions of the first three
award winners from 2017 into the Cologne exhibition.
The main exhibition can be visited until March 14 at the Cultural
Center in Cologne-Mülheim, while the exhibitions in Weißenthurm and
Kobern-Gondorf will continue until May 17, 2018. A total of 20 prizes
(and 47 finalists) have been awarded, including 13 jury awards and
seven editorial awards.

Opening 2018 with cultural program: filmscreening and reading about William Turner and the Romantic Rhine |
On
our website www.enterintoart.com,
containing the “Enter into Art” ARCHIVE, you will find the
most important information from all year’s exhibitions and prelude
events. Please see also the above ARCHIVE menu and choose the
exhibition period 2017-18. You
can get a better idea of the design of the exhibition via the “Photo
Gallery” section.
The
exhibitions in Cologne, Weißenthurm and Kobern-Gondorf are an
artistic arrangement comprising small-format pictures by artists from
around the world, usually arranged according to color. This
year, we have changed the concept a little. While we have again
arranged some of the pictures by color, the other part is mainly
organized by topic. The
hosts Gabriele Walter (poet) and Kurt Ries (artist) have contributed
the artistic conception and design of the installation (including
pictures, poems, sculptures, relaxing music, multimedia and art
objects).
Our concept of a melange of art, poetry, music and mindful viewing of the images has proven to be very successful! The visitors were extremely interested and spent very long in the exhibition, some left the gallery just in the evening. Several visitors turned out to be true fans of the Enter into Art concept and regular customers.

Rewards
and jury
![]() |
Great interest also for the solo exhibitions of the award winners from the previous year: Takanori Iwase, Kurt Ries and visitors. |
We
again selected a jury comprising 13 participants from 13 countries.
In an anonymous vote, the jury selected 13 winners. Our team also
granted a special award and six honorable mentions, consistent with
our public relations (PR) concept. Please see all winners in our
ARCHIVE 2017-18!
We
have already written about the prizes themselves. The basic prize is
free publication within a year of a meditative blog post about the
winning images. The timing of publication will depend on editorial
decisions. Please have a look at the examples of the rewards for the
last years.
We
would like to warmly thank the jury members for their excellent work.
Thanks also go to the award winners for their high-quality artworks –
congratulations! And
of course we will send later certificates for both the winners and
the jury members.
Prelude and online events
![]() |
PR journalist and poet: Gabriele Walter in Bad Breisig |
Last
year, we expanded our Prelude exhibitions and connected them with
special PR topics. We will continue to be involved with these topics
exclusively as part of our PR activities, above all in the form of
our online events in German language, and effectively apply them in
order to continuously promote your pictures on the Internet. For more
information, please read our AIMS AND TASKS! The publication of
well-known poems in conjunction with the exhibitions and the themes
of J.M.W. Turner,
Beethoven, Goethe and Rhine Romanticism will continue in 2018. The
Goethe poems are illustrated with picture galleries of the
participants.
Further group or solo publishing
.
In
addition, we would like to draw attention also to our solo
exhibitions in our Studio Gallery in Bonn-Königswinter and our new
extraordinary opportunities.
Both
offer the possibility to publish a special art book (catalog) or
video.
The
exhibition offer "16
times ART" in Weißenthurm met with surprising interest, so that in the future we would like to
offer further alternative events in conjunction with the publication
of a gift book. In the smaller group exhibition in June 2018 in Weißenthurm will take part 16 artists from Europe, America, Asia and Africa. Even (haiku) poets can present themselves with their poems in our books - also as a solo presentation.

"16 times ART" in June 2018 in Weißenthurm - small group exhibition with art book |
Last
year we published the bilingual solo gift book "Cat Love"
with the Japanese artist Chiemi Itoi. Shortly before the release is
the solo art book "Silver the Creek" by Takanori Iwase.
If
you are interested in a solo event or further offers, please request
our special Rules.
However,
we will be sending out the new invitation for our large annual
exhibitions 2018-19, “Fascination of Worldwide Art” later, when
the new exhibition program is created.
