Precisely 2000 artists from all over the world will be participating in the Millennium Art Collection, an international art project which aims to focus on the beauty of the earth. Theme of the project is: 2000 Reasons to Love the Earth. The 2000 Foundation initiated this project for the Millennium-year in order to combine art with a consideration for the environment. The works or art will feature in a unique book of 640 pages, as well as on several exhibitions around the world. This publication will form an unparalleled collector's item for art lovers in celebration of the Millennium-year. The exhibition will provide visitors with a round the world artistic trip in just one visit.

The 2000 Foundation selected over 1900 professional artists out of 104 countries. Therefore some 100 artists are still welcome to complete the amount of 2000. The deadline is January 31, 2000. The task of the artist is to contribute a work of art, which contains one reason to love the earth. Respect for the planet as a provider of life and as a source of beauty is essential to its survival. Thus the slogan for the event is quite appropriate: 'One Earth, One Future and 2000 Reasons to love it!

Artists who are interested in completing the 2000 can submit their application with a slide or a photograph of the work to the 2000 Foundation. A jury composed of museum directors and curators will select the winners in 16 categories with prizes up to $ 20.000. The Millennium Art Collection is a great opportunity for national artists to achieve international recognition. Entry forms can be found at www.millennium-art.nl under 'Arts Olympics' or make application to fax number ++31.20.600.2670.
