It is an exhibition that articulates through different media social awareness themes woven into one whole. Considering collectives, it comprises works of selected artists from all over the world and includes many new works in all disciplines.
 
These works of art represent a vision of the world and if taken seriously it can be seen as a way of making a world. The strength of the vision is not dependent on the media, hence all forms of artistic expression are present. Thinking of “A new day”  as a starting point, will allow the exhibition to highlight the fundamental importance of present artists for the creativity of successive generations, just as much as exploring new ways for art to unfold beyond expectations.  “A new day” is an exhibition driven by the aspiration to explore worlds within us. It is about possible new beginnings.
