What's new in 2020?
You have probably noticed our website relaunch: This year, we will concentrate on the publication
of art books. The focus of our art contests will be the respective
book with accompanying images.
Also we will continue to publish our art book Kunstretreat
– featuring small-scale images – in
conjunction with an annual competition.
It is most likely we will hold one exhibition or
book presentation at most per year, but that may change. The event
can take place in Cologne (or in another location where we have held
past exhibitions). Our book presentations and art events will be free of
charge.
Enter into Art - LOUNGE?
Regarding larger artworks, there are
special rules that differ to those of our annual contests with
small-scale images and our annual art book, Kunstretreat. We will send you the Rules together with the invitation.

Please send your pictures by email using the following guidelines for each image: 3,000 – 4,000 KB in size, 300 dpi, one side of the image must be 20 cm long. If the volume is too large for your internet connection, you can send several emails (one image per email).
We recommend that you also send us printed photos of your image files (approx. 10 x 15 cm). You can get the images printed in any drugstore so it is not expensive. They should be glossy in order to provide us with a good color pattern. We also use the photos as giveaways at our presentations.
If you have questions, please contact us!

What means "focusing on meditativ aspects"?

What are the online events and PR themes?
Please note: It is by no means imperative that the artworks of the artists refer to these topics! The PR themes serve just as an instrument that increases your reputation and the attention on your images. It there is any special theme, you will find more detailed explanations in the respective rules. Usually the artists can freely choose the subject of their artworks.
The online events and PR themes are an effective feature offered by “Enter into Art” in conjunction with the art projects. They can be designed as a tribute to or in interaction with such a theme. In our online journal in German, popular topics in the field of art and culture are published and linked to the list of participants.

Examples:
The Prelude events in 2017 were centered on the following themes:
The Prelude events in 2017 were centered on the following themes:
- William Turner and the Rhine Romantic
William
Turner is a prominent figure of Rhine romance. Again and again, he
visited this landscape and captured it in his pictures. Poems and
legends of the romantic Rhine are integrated in our German online journal. In addition we projected films with relaxing music and William Turner’s landscape motifs of the River Rhine.
- Ludwig van Beethoven and the poems of Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Bonn
is the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven. He has set to music many
poems by Johann Wolfgang Goethe.
The PR themes will also be found in special chapters of our books:
The PR themes will also be found in special chapters of our books:
- Studio Gallery 'Apollinaire'
The foreword in our book "KUNSTRETREAT 2019" dealt with Guillaume Apollinaire and his one-year stay in the Rhineland. It is also dedicated to the theme of "Apollinaire and Music" and the setting of his poems.
The interplay of art and classical music plays a very special role in our books and events. The PR themes will continue our tradition of bringing together visual arts with poetry and music.
