ARTWORKS

The theme is OPEN.
We are looking for artworks that were inspired by other creatives or their works (art, music, books, films or any other kind of creative expression)
Send min. 3 - max. 5 images (from different artworks). Show your best work!
Artworks can be in any medium, but the artworks must be in DIGITAL FORMAT, meaning that paintings, illustrations, mix-media, sculptures and other formats will have to be scanned or photographed and sent to us.
Short films and videos of performances are also accepted but they must be under 10min long.
Artists from all nationalities, backgrounds and of all styles are welcome to submit. Collaborations are also welcome.
Please resize your images to A3 or square size 30x30cm (12x12 inches) or provide the link for the videos.
We will print and mount all the selected images in Brazil with the consent of the artists.

The artists will not have to worry about anything.

No crating, no shipping, no customs. We will take care of every detail.

Exhibiting your art in a different country could not have been easier!

PARTICIPATION FEE

FREE Submission (send min. 3 - max. 5 images)
One artwork by each artist will be selected and exhibited.

Only the artists who get selected will be asked to pay the participation fee in order to cover the expenses (see list below).

Participation fee - £80 (for A3 size, square 30x30cm or short video)

We prefer to charge a 'Participation Fee' that will share the costs of the exhibitions with the selected artists instead of charging for a 'Submission Fee' that artists pay just to submit their work and can often be rejected. See the difference in our FAQ.

SELECTION PROCESS

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

One artwork by each artist will be selected and exhibited.

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).

SALES AND COMMISSION

No commission on sales.

We are artists ourselves and we know the importance of connecting the collectors with the artists. Buyers can pay the artist directly by PayPal and the curator will arrange the pickup with the buyer after the exhibition is over.

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.
