Students and artists of all mediums such as paintings, photography or sculpture, are welcome to participate and showcase their creativity.
A maximum of two artworks per artist is allowed.
Each submission must include a passport size photograph, profile and a label with title, artist name, medium, and price should the artist decide to sell the artwork. Artworks for sale will be sold through an open auction system. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the China and Myanmar disaster relief funds.

Registration for "Art to Heart" will be done on location. The Brunei Art Forum was formed in 2003 with the aim of promoting creativity and bringing together 'artists' of all calibres.
Jose Frietas Cruz, the former chairman with a small group of artists, played an instrumental role in the formation of the forum.
In January 2004, the BAF held its first art exhibition at the Brunei Museum, Kota Batu showcasing various artworks by local and expatriate members living in the country. Recently, the BAF held an EGM meeting at Rainforest Gallery, Kiulap where the interim Chairman, Dato Shofry Abdul Ghafor and his support team were appointed.
The BAF invites art students, artists of all mediums and fellow art enthusiasts to come to the AGM and help BAF to achieve its vision.
The AGM will be held on June 8 at 10am at the Museum Art Gallery, Old Custom Building. For more information, email bruneiartforum@gmail.com.
