Volume 12, (Hardcover)

Friend of the Artist is a platform dedicated to showcasing the work of extremely talented emerging artists from around the world. Each volume is unique and features a diversity of aesthetics and ideas. Our printed books are curated by experienced jurors, who work together to carefully select the top artists' works.

During these unusual times when social norms continue to evolve, we find this particular volume of FOA to be important to the overall practice of viewing art. As more galleries have taken exhibitions online, making art interactions a "visual only" experience, the gift of standing before a work of art as it sits in context to its surroundings has become far less taken for granted. We feel that through FOA's printed volumes, we can continue to provide a physical encounter for the viewer to not only take in the works in a tactile form, but they can also experience them in context to other carefully curated works that surround them in the pages of the volume.

Within the pages of FOA's Volume 12, we are proud to feature 40 artists from 9 different countries who work in multiple mediums, thanks to the panel of experienced jurors from around the globe including Natasha Arselan, Adrian Zuñiga, Roya Sachs, and Justin Archer.
