Call for Exhibitors Fair
Open Call until May 22
Fair for a maximum of 20 exhibitors. We propose an event that will bring photographers’ work to the general public in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. For the second consecutive year, the fair will be curated by Vicenç Boned, who will work in the format of a single project per exhibitor, studying each proposal and its suitability to offer an overview of the situation of the photographic medium.
Of particular importance for this tenth edition is the collectors’ programme coordinated by Moritz Neumüller in collaboration with various national and international entities to create a meeting point for collectors, galleries and creators, as well as activities to make public and private collections visible.
The Art Photo Bcn Fair aims at activating the artistic circle and the inclusion of new creative values by bringing the general and specialized public closer to the works of new authors, as well as to those of the professionals that support them. Through every edition the community and the supporters of Art Photo Bcn keep on growing, showing the rooting process of the fair within the artistic ground of the city and its institutions, as well as among the public.
All the activities focus on photography with the aim of showing the importance of this medium in the current artistic production. A fresh and close photography fair that generates a reflection in the public through the pieces of current creators, hoping to make it an inflection point inside the circle. Art Photo Bcn supports the work of current creators and acts as window display for their projects.
The open call for exhibitors addresses both physical and online galleries, as well as institutions and exhibition halls willing to propose a project based on current photography. The projects received will be evaluated by Vicenç Boned as the curator of the fair.
The registration will be carried out through the online form by signing up a maximum of 1 artist for each exhibitor.
