ARCOlisboa 2017| Open call

ARCOlisboa 2017
Dates : 18–21 May 2017
Deadline for applications: 10 -01-2017
ARCO and IFEMA are pleased to announce the launching of ARCOlisboa's second edition. The outstanding reception of the first edition is the driving force behind this project. Following the opinions of the galleries, artists, collectors and the local scene, the Fair will subtly grow, adapting to the Cordoaria Nacional iconic building.
Quality of contents is ARCOlisboa 2017's main objective. The Fair aims at becoming a major artistic and social event in the Portuguese capital between May 18 and 21. In this edition, the General Program will host about 50 galleries selected by the Organizing Committee after the analysis of all submitted projects. The quality of the projects of the participating galleries and the city's own cultural activity will be the key attractions to lure international collectors, well-known professionals and the general public.
Lisbon is becoming a favorite destination for interesting gallery projects from different parts of the world who have decided to open there their main headquarters or a second branch. The confirmation of this fact has led to the new Opening section in ARCOlisboa; a program that will count with the participation of around ten national and international galleries that are under seven years old and that will be selected by João Laia, a Portuguese writer and curator, currently based in London.
The world of art will again look at Lisbon, a city that has thrown itself into contemporary art. Together with this enthusiasm, we have the support from institutions, galleries and collectors to the Fair through varied exhibitions and events that create opportunities to meet with ARCOlisboa's participants and guests.
Moreover, all this will take place during a specially dynamic moment in the country's art scene thanks to the new space in the Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia (MAAT) by the Fundação EDP, new galleries and non profit spaces, and the appointment of Lisbon as 2017 Ibero-American Capital of Culture 2017. On this occasion, ARCOlisboa will host meetings and activities linked with Latin America that will gather outstanding professionals of the art world, like for instance the Meeting of European and Latin-American Museums, among others.

The proposal must be within the field of contemporary artistic creation and is open to any creative forms. The project may be accompanied or constituted by a program of activities in order to open a new space of reflection regarding the treated topic. In case the project—or part of it—results in an exhibition, it may include works already in the collection of FRAC Lorraine and the collections of SFKM (to be discovered during the residency in Førde).

The curator of the winning project will receive the sum of 6,500 EUR, tax included, as an honorarium. His/her travel expenses (for the residencies and installation periods in the three institutions) will be reimbursed upon presentation of appropriate supporting documents, up to 5,000 EUR, including taxes.

The winning project will have a maximum budget of 20,000 EUR for each venue. It will open in 2015.

All curators born on and after 1974 are eligible to enter the competition. If the entry is a group creation, one person will be chosen from that group to represent it and act as mediator. Curators will not be allowed to participate as artists in the projects. No more than one project per entrant will be accepted. Entries must be previously unpublished and must provide for the participation of two or more artists or contributors.

The jury will select the winning project and two finalists in May 2014. The jury's decision is final. The jury may declare the award void should they consider this necessary. The criteria for evaluating the entries will be based on quality and the originality of the research project.
The jury's decision will be made public before May 15, 2014 and all participants will be notified by email.
