(Exhibition Preface)

As part of the inaugural year of The Bridge Arts Foundation's art program, The Open Call Exhibition is designed to provide support for early-career artists. In its first edition, "Beyond Borders" Open Call Exhibition has carefully selected 18 talented artists from around 60 submissions through a process involving art professionals.
