Application deadline: March 13, 2017
From December 7–10, 2017, Art Basel, the premier art fair in the Americas, will stage the 16th edition of its show in Miami Beach. The show will feature more than 250 leading galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia, displaying works by more than 4,000 artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Art Basel is currently accepting applications to five sectors: Galleries, Edition, Survey, Nova and Positions sectors. Visit our website to submit your application online. Exhibitors for each sector will be selected by Art Basel’s Selection Committee for Miami Beach.
Galleries is the main exhibition sector of Art Basel where leading art galleries for Modern and contemporary art display 20th and 21st century artworks. The galleries in the sector must be at least three years old and apply with their overall program, while also outlining their concept for a booth at the show.
Edition represents an exclusive selection of the leading publishers of edition works, exhibiting the results of their collaborations with renowned international artists. Galleries must be at least three years old.
Survey presents precise art historical projects that date prior to the year 2000. Proposals for this sector should be specifically developed for the show, and preferably draw upon artists, material and a curatorial approach that distinguish the gallery’s program. The project can include a presentation by a single artist (including single-piece stands) or exhibitions presenting the work of two or more artists within a strong curatorial concept. All galleries are eligible to apply.
Nova focuses on recent artistic production and is open to galleries that have been in existence for two or more years. The booth may feature works by up to a maximum of three artists represented by the gallery. The works displayed must have been created over the past three years.
Positions allows for the discovery of new talent by providing galleries with a platform to present one emerging artist with one major project. Positions requires no minimum gallery age in order to apply. Proposals must comprise a single project (one or more pieces) by one artist represented by the gallery. All artworks exhibited in Positions must be part of the proposed project.
Further information about the show and our new online application procedure can be found on our website.
The application deadline for these five sectors is Monday, March 13, 2017.
