In 2012 the eyes of the world are on London and the UK for the world’s biggest sporting event, the London 2012 Olympics. Visiting Arts want to reflect this global occasion back to those people looking into the UK.

They want to give artists from every country in the world the opportunity to tell the world what it’s like to live and work in their country in the 21st century. To inspire and be inspired.

200 Voices will profile, spread and showcase some of the world’s most exciting artists online throughout 2012.

Launching on January 1st, submissions will be streamed throughout the year.

Visiting Arts are asking for an image, short film, piece of music or text responding to these three questions-

• What is it like to be an artist working in your country?
• How do your local surroundings and context influence your work and your practice?
• Is there anything you would like to say to other artists across the world about your situation?

If you would like to be involved please get in touch to be one of their 200 Voices. They are welcoming responses from now and will need to receive them before Monday 26th September 2011.
