Furthering our mission, in 2018 we launched the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, an annual nonacquisitive international Art Prize that celebrates diversity and excellence in the representational visual arts. The Art Prize inspires creatives from around the world to pursue a life and career in the arts, and helps careers grow through funding and increased global exposure of their work to galleries, collectors and media. Entries open each year in February. For more details please visit the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize website.
In 2024 we also launched the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory which further serves our mission to champion emerging and mid-career artists and photographers by leveraging our global influence . The Artist Directory is the premier platform for discovering and connecting with the most exceptional, innovative, and skilled artists and photographers from around the world. Whether you are a curator, gallery director, client, collector, artist needing inspiration, or writer for the arts media, this curated list of artists and photographers presents some of the best work from around the world.
The Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory is a powerful tool for artists looking to grow their visibility, and connect with clients, curators and collectors.

We have a firm stance on the use of AI in Art: Art created using AI image generators of any kind – whether entirely made by AI image generators or partly made by AI image generators – is not accepted for print editorial in the magazine, exhibitions, website, social media or the Art Prize. If we accidentally post anything created by AI on our socials and are made aware, we will delete the post.
