Quote from Maria-Cristina Scemtovici

“Our mission is to represent the dynamic Romanian art scene through the various trends in contemporary design and active, known or emerging Romanian artists. The project represents more than a desirable prize and an annual exhibition. It is a method and a belief and our goal is to coagulate a community of people, public and private organizations that have the passion, skill and resources necessary to align the Romanian art sector with the European and international one.”
