Please check the FAQ if you have any questions.

SELECTION PROCESS

All submissions will be reviewed and selected by the curator: Juliana Lauletta.

Artworks can be selected before the deadline.

Please note that the decisions are final and we are unable to offer feedback.

PAYMENT METHODS

Only the selected artists will receive the payment link by email and will have 3 days after selection to pay the participation fee and secure their spot. 

Payments can be made through PayPal, Credit/Debit Card and Mercado Pago (Brazil).

REFUND POLICY

After submitting the form and paying the participation fee, the artists will be part of the show and we will hold their spaces. If the artist cancel close to the date, it is nearly impossible for us to schedule another artist in their place. Therefore, there are NO REFUNDS after making the payment.

SALES

Only artists present at the Private View/Opening event in Brazil can have their artworks up for sale. 

As a cultural centre, our role differs from that of a commercial gallery; hence, we abstain from participating in the sales process between artists and collectors. Should a collector express interest in a piece, the artist will be directly connected to them by the curator, facilitating independent negotiations without any commission from us. Being artists, we recognise the value of establishing direct connections between artists and collectors.
