After six successful editions that brought together over 700 artists from around the world, the Arts to Hearts Project is thrilled to announce the launch of its 7th chapter: the 101 Art Book – Collage Edition.
This new volume continues the legacy of the 101 Art Book Project—an initiative that has grown into a respected and widely recognized platform for international art publishing. Each edition has celebrated creativity across unique themes, from Landscapes to Portraits, Florals to Animals, and with every book, the project has expanded its reach, creating a global tradition of honouring contemporary artistic voices.
Now, with the Collage Edition, the spotlight turns to one of the most imaginative and transformative mediums in art. This edition will feature 101 exceptional collage artworks in a premium hardcover coffee-table book, distributed worldwide through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and personally shared with curators, collectors, and galleries. More than a publication, it is a stage for recognition, a platform for visibility, and a permanent archive of creative expression.
Why Collage?
The Collage Edition is a heartfelt tribute to the art of reinvention. Collage is playful because it invites experimentation, political because it remixes and challenges, and poetic because it turns fragments into harmony.
As one phrase so beautifully says:
Collage is the art of re-seeing the world, piece by piece
Whether hand-cut from paper, layered with fabric, assembled digitally, or woven from photographs and text, collage is about transformation. It reveals the stories hidden within fragments and gives them new life.
This edition welcomes submissions across all forms of collage: traditional, digital, mixed media, photo-based, textile, or text-driven works. Artists are encouraged to explore layers, textures, and narrative, creating works that reflect the diversity and richness of collage today.
Each piece becomes a window into the artist’s way of seeing the world a vision we hope to preserve, honor, and share through this global publication.

The 101 Art Book doesn’t stop at publication. It also honours and rewards artistic excellence in tangible ways.

What Does Collage Mean to You?
For some, collage is a quiet meditation. For others, it’s an explosion of energy and colour. Sometimes it is playful; sometimes it carries the weight of memory. However, you practice it, collage is always deeply personal an expression that belongs only to you.
The Collage Edition is an invitation to share that personal language. To let the stories you’ve pieced together travel further, reaching new eyes, new hearts, and new places.
Because when fragments come together, they carry more than images—they carry connection.
