From September until October, 2009 ( Dates to be confirmed) a grand festival of visual arts will take place in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Made in Arnhem, as the event is called, will be held by the Arnhem Museum for Modern Art in collaboration with 25 other organizations. Over 300 independent artists will participate in this local event with national allure. This year the governing theme will be "Invites".

Temporary Art Product Exchange (TAPE) is one of the participating organizations. In the light of this extraordinary event we have decided to come up with an ambitious concept. Our idea is to invite a wide variety of international artists to send in a work of art that fits the theme of invitation. By putting all submissions together TAPE will attempt to create the largest international temporary art exhibition currently on show, during the festival.

In addition, TAPE also wants to emphasize the importing process and the cultural background of the artists and their work, allowing the art to be explored from a global perspective. The exhibition will start with the presentation of a catalogue featuring information on the artists, their correspondence and images of their collected works. At the end of the exhibition period we plan to auction all the items that we were allowed to keep and donate the proceeds to charity.
