SALES

Only artists present at the Private View/Opening event in Brazil can have their artworks up for sale.


As a cultural centre, our role differs from that of a commercial gallery; hence, we abstain from participating in the sales process between artists and collectors.

Should a collector express interest in a piece, the artist will be directly connected to them by the curator, facilitating independent negotiations without any commission from us.

Being artists, we recognise the value of establishing direct connections between artists and collectors.

What happens if my proposal is chosen?
All submissions will be reviewed and selected by the curator: Juliana Lauletta.
Artworks can be selected before the deadline.
Only the selected artists will receive the payment link and will have 3 days after selection to pay the participation fee and secure their spot.
Payments can be made through PayPal or Credit/Debit Card.
Why do you charge a Participation Fee?
We are an artist-led, self-funded, independent arts organisation and we work hard to create opportunities for artists.

We have been expanding and our projects are successfully growing. We have been applying for funding and hopefully, in the near future, we can lower the participation fee. Until then, we just need to keep the lights on.
How should I send my artwork file after being selected?
The participating artists will be asked to send a high-resolution file of their artwork to be printed in Brazil.

The files must be cropped 30 x 40 cm (11.81 x 15.75 inches) or square size 30 x 30 cm (11.81 x 11.81 inches) and sent via email when requested.
Will I get photos of the exhibition?
Yes!
There will be a picture of every individual work on the wall and pictures of people visiting the exhibition.
Also, there will be an Artfacts listing.
So, there will be plenty of documentation of your participation.
Can I send my original artwork for the exhibition?
Sorry, no.
Only artists residing in São Paulo, Brazil, are eligible to exhibit their original artworks.
They must personally deliver their artwork to the gallery one week prior to the start of the exhibition and sign a consignment agreement. Furthermore, they must arrange for the collection of their artwork at the conclusion of the exhibition.
What happens to my print after the exhibition?
We will keep the print in our archive for future opportunities.

Some future exhibitions will be only for artists that we have already worked with and their prints are in our storage.

If the artist prefers not to keep it in our storage, we can destroy it.
Can you ship my print to my country after the exhibition?
Sorry, no.

We tried that in the past and it didn't work out. International postal service from Brazil to overseas is expensive (around £50) and unreliable. It tracks only inside the country. So we are not offering that option anymore.

If you would like to have a fine art print of your work, we recommend The Printspace in London. They have good prices, and they ship internationally.
Can I choose where my print will be hanged?
Unfortunately, no.

The artworks are allocated based on style, orientation, technical specifications, colours, etc.

The curator carefully plans the placement of each work to ensure consistency throughout the show.

Please note that the decisions are final and not open for discussion.
Can I sell my print during the exhibition?
Only artists present at the Private View/Opening event in Brazil will have their artworks up for sale.

As a cultural centre, our role differs from that of a commercial gallery; hence, we abstain from participating in the sales process between artists and collectors. Should a collector express interest in a piece, the artist will be directly connected to them by the curator, facilitating independent negotiations without any commission from us.
