What you can do

On February 7th we will take a stance by referring to ourselves as Kitsch painters— just like the “artists” separated themselves from the artisans 250 years ago.

We encourage you to post your personal story about why you stopped calling yourself an artist with #kitschified.

You can also publish the Not Art posters or the Comparison posters.

Let us bring back the dignity to classical painting by using their own weapon against them.

Kitsch lends itself to a definition in terms of a systematic attempt to fly from daily reality: in time and in space.
