World premiere for contemporary art
”UNITED NATIONS – symbol of life, freedom & happiness”, an Intercontinental Online Art Exhibition dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations.
This project was initiated and organized by the ”Inter-Art” Foundation from Aiud, Romania. It represents an absolute world premiere since, for the first time in history, artists from all the 193 Member States of the United Nations are gathered in a single, dedicated art exhibition. The event is held under the High Patronage of H.E. Klaus Werner Iohannis, President of Romania and it is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania and the Romanian Cultural Institute.
For the moment the exhibition has an online exposure. If the conditions determined by the coronavirus pandemic allow, a physical exhibition will be organized at the United Nations headquarters in New York, next year.
This unique event pays a special tribute to the United Nations Anniversary, wishing to prove that through art we can create a better world – one of freedom and coexistence, of cooperation and understanding, and of unity between people, nations and cultures.
In the message sent on the occasion of the launching of the exposition, the President of Romania, H.E. Klaus Werner Iohannis, stated that << The exhibition inaugurated today is a symbolic fresco of our times, created in a context in which we need – more than ever – solidarity and understanding. […] Not by chance, the key factor that made this exhibition possible is the same as the one that motivated the UN action since its creation in 1945 and that guarantees the Organization’s success in demonstrating the ”art of unity” between nations on ahead: international cooperation, for the benefit of our citizens >>.
Stefan Balog, the project initiator and curator declared that: “A beautiful dream becomes reality with this project, unique in its own way. An achievement that fully defines the concept of the Inter-Art Foundation to unite all the nations of the world through art. We have always believed in this motto and in these 25 years since we have existed we have done our best to prove that the art and culture of a nation is the best ambassador”.
