BI Auction Launches Third Competition for Young Artists

BI Auction Launches Third Competition for Young Artists

BI Auction, sponsored by IArt and We’Ar Art, has launched its third annual Competition for Young Artists. Young painters from around Georgia are invited to submit photos of their works by November 25.

GEORGIA TODAY spoke to BI Auction founder Bengü Akçardak Küçük to find out more.

“The idea came to mind during our 2nd BI Auction preparations in 2016,” she tells us. “We had just a few young artists’ works in our first auction, which were successfully presented and auctioned. After this experience, these artists mentioned this success in their CVs, noting it as an important achievement in their careers as professional artists. But it took time to make a good and effective start, and only in 2019 were we able to announce the 1st BI Auction Competition. It had a big impact, and we reached many more young artists.

“We really feel the happiness of doing ‘good’ for others, especially for younger generations. I was young, you were (are) young. We all know how wonderful it is to be young, but it brings many questions, many uncertainties for the future. If something/someone opens a safe, reliable door, this is a good sign for a bright future to trust in. My aim is to create not only a real experience, but also to motivate young artists to create artworks for a better world and future.”

What is the theme of this year’s competition and why?
We don’t want to limit artists with specific themes, we want to feel their art and artistic visions, so we leave the theme up to them.

Who typically enters these competitions?
We call on all who believe in their artworks, who create original works. We do need a limit, though, so we restrict the age (up to 30 years).

Who chooses the winners?
This is a competition of BI Auction and we want to offer a good experience to motivate young artists. Our BI Auction family chooses the winners considering artistic values and art market dynamics.

Will there be an exhibition of the entries?
Yes, of course. After every competition, we organize a ceremony to announce the winners of the competition, and, depending on conditions, we organize an exhibition and auction only for ‘Young Artists.’ It would be great to have the support of more companies to sponsor our yearly artists’ competition to build a better future for Georgian art.
