CALL FOR ARTISTS
SENSES INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2024
Lecce, Italy | July 12 – 21, 2024
Deadline: May 01, 2024
ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the open call for SENSES ART FAIR 2024, international exhibition of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture and performance art, which will take place in several cultural exhibition spaces across Lecce, in the heart of Apulia, like the MUST – Museo Storico Città di Lecce, Chiesa di San Francesco della Scarpa, and in other prestigious historical buildings, from July 12 to July 21, 2024.
For the first time in Lecce, SENSES International Art Fair will represent a unique occasion that brings together creatives from around the world in Salento, a charming and fascinating area, located at the extreme tip of the Apulia, internationally known as a treasure of natural beauty, rich history, delicious food, and vibrant culture. Lecce, the capital of this region, stands as a Southern Italian jewel, where the profound spiritual power of its Baroque history and sun-kissed limestone buildings and churches resonates through its architecture forging connections that transcend time and space, offering a unique glimpse into the essence of existence.
Starting from paintings, through photography and cinematographic film, exploring the human body and the digital world, the senses are the creatives’ common ground, the core and the essence through which they can express themselves. SENSES ART FAIR is about exploring and experimenting with new hybridizations, and creating new possible worlds while sharing a hub for dialogue, unity, and exchange among artists, architects, designers, critics, public and private institutions, and art enthusiasts.
We invite all the artists to immerse themselves in a multisensory exploration of their consciousness and to share their personal artistic research through any kind of media, from painting to sculptures and installation, from photography to video art and live performance.

SOME OF OUR LAST EXHIBITIONS
Norico Nagaiwa, Japan
” I think it is not only a place to present my own work but also an attractive place where I can interact with artists from all over the world. In addition, I think it is a very good platform that can expand the possibilities of exhibition not only in one country but also widely all over the world. One of the attractions is that hold various exhibitions many times a year.“

“For me, it is essential that reality like ITSLIQUID exist to facilitate the connection between numerous viewers and artists and also between artists and artists. This not only enhances the appreciation of the artworks but also fosters the formation of shared meanings, allowing the works themselves to exist and take shape through the ongoing interaction between creators and observers.”
