Many artistic disciplines such as performing arts, conceptual art, and textile arts, other types like the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art.

The rules of the competition and all prizes will be presented soon, but we can already reveal a part of the secret that in addition to the real and virtual exhibition for dozens of finalists, the winner of the Grand Prix will receive the opportunity to an individual exhibition in our gallery.

The theme of the competition is Royal Blue – the color from which the name of the gallery comes, and which Wikipedia defines as a deep and vivid shade of blue. Legends say it was created in England by clothiers in Rode, Somerset, whose consortium won a competition to make a dress for Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines royal blue as a “deep, vibrant blue”, while the Cambridge English Dictionary defines it as a “strong light blue colour”, and the Collins English Dictionary defines it as a “dark blue colour”. American dictionaries describe it as more akin to purple, such as “deep vivid reddish or purplish blue” (Webster’s New World College Dictionary) or “vivid purple blue” (Merriam-Webster).

We love them all! And you?
