10 New & Raving Artists In The Wave
The art world is in forever search for the next big artist, and New Art Wave Expo 2015, which runs in Macau from August 28 to 30 with the help of Mr. Tang Hoi Chiu and Mr. Johnson Chang as Honorary Advisors, aims at providing a platform for emerging contemporary artists to stamp their names in the hall of fame, helping them to focus on their creativity and give them a wider exposure to the collectors who are likely to bet on the new art innovators.

Subsequent to a storming call of submission intakes in earlier months, 100 winning artists have been selected by a judging panel, and are given their individual booths to sell their works at the Expo. And out of these 100, the judges are going to pick Gold, Silver and Bronze applicants, who will scoop an extra US$10,000, US$8,000 or US$5,000, respectively, in the Best of Artists Award.
