Pro drivers of visual art

Drive In - Art Community is a meeting place for artists. Through the blog, visual artists are able to make contact, search for exhibition sites, or even present phases of an art project and at the same time advertise future exhibitions. Here, you can create and communicate arts projects with other visual artists. A project may push the gas pedal, and drive away - this community is not binding: the only commitment is the contribution in a project. Each project is responsible for itself and the blog administrators are only responsible for the content of the blog. A project may use the ‘Drive In Art Community’ and its logo, when necessary.

The project can also be a recreational day for visual artists, or something else creative: projects may have an artistic goal, related to professional visual artists or the project may not be such an artistic event, and invite participants from other fields. A project may be limited to its participants, but in this community any professional visual artist is able to drive and represent his or her visual art. The projects are open to suggestions: it may be contemporary art exhibitions, cross-artistic activities - sales events, etc. A participant may also be another form of art representative who wishes to participate in cross-disciplinary project.

Through this community, artists and projects have the opportunity to apply for an exhibition in gallery Koppelo, which is located in the center of Tampere, Finland.
