“The Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize also provided the opportunity to exhibit and sell my work at the absolutely gorgeous Modern Eden Gallery, curated by Beautiful Bizarre Magazine. Most importantly, it lifted my heart during a very challenging COVID lockdown and provided an extraordinary exhibition for me to work towards, when most other gallery spaces had to temporarily shut down. I am so grateful for having this amazing opportunity!” ~ Susannah Montague, 3rd Prize Winner of the 2020 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, Sculpture Award
This is the perfect opportunity for artists to get their work in front of both the Editor-in-Chief of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine and the Directors of Modern Eden Gallery, plus connect with the 80+ artists participating in the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine curated exhibition in November this year.
