What exactly does a virtual exhibition mean?The virtual exhibition allows attendees to view the artwork in a 3D environment from desktop or mobile.

Solstice is an open-theme exhibition.
Artists are welcome to submit work of any subject matter, style, or concept. Your work does not need to literally reference the solstice, tarot, stars, or celestial imagery.

Annita Apostolidou Platis
“Being featured in the inaugural issue of The Alchemical Art Magazine was an important moment in my artistic journey.
The beautifully curated pages dedicated to my interview and artworks offered not only global visibility, but also a profound sense of belonging to a community that values authenticity, emotion, and visionary storytelling. Participating in the EROS Virtual Exhibition and seeing my art displayed on a digital billboard in Melbourne—one of the world’s great cultural cities—was a moment I will always cherish. The professionalism, kindness, and dedication of your team made me feel supported and understood as an international artist. I look forward to continuing our collaboration and sharing new chapters of my creative path with you.”

"The Alchemical Art is a place of high quality. In this space, I feel I can expand.
So often, the limits are too narrow to express oneself freely and peacefully—but in this gallery, it’s the opposite. Here, I feel I can grow. And most importantly: I feel understood. And for me, that’s the most important feeling of all."
