In 2013, SP-Arte experienced a historic edition, establishing SP-Arte as one of the leading global art fairs in the world. 122 galleries participated in the Fair and over 22,000 collectors, curators, artists, and art professionals visited the Pavilion to experience vast Modern and Contemporary artwork available by both Brazilian and International artists.

Applicants can choose from one of the four multidisciplinary sections available at SP-Arte:

Modern (up to 1970s) and Contemporary (1980s to present) sections for galleries specializing in works ranging from the early 20th century to present day.

Showcase, a section launched in 2012, will now be divided into two groups. One group will show works by a maximum of three artists. The second group will present monographic exhibitions coordinated by a guest curator. Galleries for this second group will be selected through invitation by the guest curator or via SP-Arte's application.

Editorial Cluster, an exclusive section designated for publishers of artist's books.

All galleries should have a permanent exhibition space with at least three years of experience; galleries are encouraged to submit a detailed exhibition project for the Fair that includes a description of the installation and artwork images.

The deadline to submit all applications and necessary documents is October 1, 2013.

For additional questions, please contact application@sp-arte.com. All applications will be reviewed by the Fair organizers and Selection Committee and a final list of exhibitors will be announced on December 1, 2013 on SP-Arte's website.
