The inspiration for the "15 Minutes of Fame" art project comes from Andy Warhol's famous quote: "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." This project is designed for students and art enthusiasts eligible for the O1/Global Talent Visa application, as well as artists who simply want to promote their work and increase overseas exposure. We have carefully selected art magazines and media from the UK and the US to feature the artists chosen for this project. The project aims to:
-
Expand the influence of artists by matching them with suitable art platforms for promotion and exposure.
-
Explore potential overseas collectors who might be a match for the artists and provide a platform for showcasing their work.
-
Address pain points for artists, allowing them to focus on their strengths. We aim to help achieve cost-effective success in obtaining the O1/Global Talent Visa.

"15 Minutes of Fame" Art Project - Phase One:
-
Through an open call, we will select works that meet the criteria from submissions, leading to the second phase of the "15 Minutes of Fame" Art Project: preparing for a virtual space exhibition.
-
The second phase of the "15 Minutes of Fame" Art Project lasts for ten days, culminating in the virtual exhibition opening on the tenth day with technical support from the Exhibbit platform. The exhibition runs for 20 days.
-
In the end, all participating artists and their works in the 15 Minutes of Fame project will be featured in reports by three carefully chosen art media outlets. (Note: Report links, screenshots, exhibition images, and other visual materials will be packaged and sent to the artists' emails.)
-
After the project concludes, participants will receive media coverage, which is beneficial for O1/GTV applications or other endorsements.
