SNAC-expo, an online curated art competition dedicated to promoting the interests of artists from marginalized countries as well as those that are traditionally underrepresented in the art world, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2014 Israeli Art Competition. As part of the competition, people from around the world voted in the online competition featuring 219 pieces of artwork from 72 Israeli artists.

About SNAC-expo:
SNAC-expo is an international fine art competition and exhibition that provides great opportunities for artists to have their work expertly curated, promoted, and exhibited in select venues throughout the world, and then auctioned in an online gallery. Each event engages a global audience in preserving and promoting the transformative power of art to connect diverse communities through a unique confluence of social networks, online galleries and the inimitable human experience of art.
CEO and Co-Founder, Guy Clément Cohen, is a world-renowned sculptor who transitioned out of working internationally in the high-tech industry after 35 years to study fine arts.
