Let's break into the Art World together!
Realise the networks in the Art World?  Learn the inside tracks?

How can artists stay true to their beliefs when making professional choices? This card game "Surviving the Art World" invites players to reflect on their relationships with different organizations, events, and individuals within the ecosystem of the "Art World", and to discover their own path to success.

In "Newbies Edition", players will simulate the career of an artist: renting a shared studio, participating in exhibitions, searching for part-time job, applying for funding, and posting on social media platforms such as Instagram. At the same time, they must equip themselves and get involved into various art projects, seeking to collect energy points and artwork cards, in order to make a name for themselves in the art world.
