From Thursday, June 15 to Sunday, June 18, 2017, Art Basel will stage the 48th edition of its show in Basel, the world's premier art fair for modern and contemporary art. The show will feature more than 280 leading galleries from North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, displaying works by more than 4,000 artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

From Monday, August 22 on Art Basel will accept applications to the following sectors: Galleries, Edition, Statements, and Feature.

The Galleries sector 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 this sector are judged for selection based upon their overall program, while also outlining their specific booth concept for the Basel show.

Edition is the sector for leading publishers of editioned works, prints and multiples. As with the Galleries sector, exhibitors are judged based upon their overall program, while also outlining their specific booth concept.

Statements is the platform for galleries presenting emerging artists with solo shows via an exhibition of strongly related works. Preference is given to single projects. Selection is based on the proposal, not on the gallery's overall activities.

Feature focuses on precisely curated projects, such as the presentation of a single artist of any generation, exceptional art historical material, or exhibitions presenting multiple artists within a curatorial concept. As with Statements, selection is based on the proposal, not the gallery.

Applications are now completely digital and can be sent through our website at artbasel.com/applications.

The deadline for applications to these sectors is Friday, September 9, 2016.

The Art Basel team is always happy to assist you. Please visit our website to see the application information. Should you have questions about the process, please do not hesitate to contact us via applications@artbasel.com.
