The decision to create an ongoing project MULTIPOINT International Art Symposium involving international artists is significant in the context of endeavour to create dialogue among artists from different cultures. The theme of the MULTIPOINT International Art Symposium 2010 is PROXIMITY - as an ability to consistently create experiences that invite to start conversations and create content. Clearly in that case the articulation of the visual field reflects a tendency in the perceptual system itself - and is aimed at reflecting the artists´ unique style. Subject and technique will be decided by the artists. The 10 days event (30.7. - 8.8.2010) attempts to support activities of the temporary international artistic community and also encourages cooperation of Slovak and international artists. Artistic symposium gives the participants the opportunity to step into the creative moment and freedom of self-expression. Spiritual insight is emphasized alongside with the mastery of technique. MULTIPOINT ´International Art Symposium 2010´ aims at providing artists with the opportunity for the independent creative space within a framework of cultural exchange and dialogue.
MULTIPOINT International Art Symposium 2010 takes place at the studios of ARS STUDIO. Established in 1995 - ARS STUDIO – a non-for-profit art association and private elementary school of arts located in Nitra (Slovakia) is dedicated to fostering exploration, understanding and enjoyment of the fine arts at multiple layers. During its more than 14 years of service we have taken part in many local, national and international events in the field of performance, concerts, exhibitions, education and artetherapy.

MULTIPOINT also features ART ETC - afternoon coffee breaks & talks with Lucia VADELOVA - gallery consultant for culture and education from Nitra Gallery. Besides projects of visual art character – talks with artists who are currently exhibiting a the Nitra Gallery or educational projects generally based on strenghtening of the public attitude towards the visual art and the Nitra Gallery – she also organizes other events, e.g. Cycle of chamber music and talks with contemporary Slovak writers.
