The magazine MAQ The magazine MAQ ART December 2018 | Page 8

We have reached the eighth issue of the magazine and with this we close the year 2018, full of news and successes for MAQ. Our Quantum Art Movement has seen a quantitative growth, but above all qualitative with the entry of artists of great international importance. This shows the usefulness of the Facebook group, which is a prerequisite for the enlargement of MAQ.

We have organized the important global competition "Creativity and Antidote for

Human Survival" which, albeit began in late 2017, it took place and ended in 2018; 53 artists of 20 different nationalities participated in this competition for a total of 94 works!

A great worldwide success that has consolidated our relationship of collaboration with Science-Art Research Center of Australia and with all scientists and artists of that land for us physically distant, but close to our hearts. An important year also for the exhibitions that saw the participation of our artists in Moscow and in Italy in Pavia and Le Castella, consolidating collaborative relationships with other Associations. MAQ Magazine was born in March

of this year from an idea of Vice President Natalia Morozova and she made almost all the eight numbers released online. This involved a huge almost daily voluntary work and we all must be grateful and proud for the quality of the contents and the beauty of the layout. The magazine is very important because we all have learned to work as a real team for a common project; MAQ Magazine is important because it makes artists grow from a cultural and artistic point of view, because we have found new important

international collaborations,

because with it we can reach for free through the web, hundreds of people.

This is why I feel obliged to thank with all my heart, all those who contributed with their work and their sacrifice to the realization and dissemination of MAQ Magazine.
