Application Criteria
VOLTA powers artistic discovery. For the 20th anniversary edition, VOLTA will curate an intimate and engaging space where collectors can connect with compelling artistic narratives from around the world.
Proposals will be assessed on the following criteria. Galleries should:
- Have a diverse artist program;
- Provide a strong proposal with curatorial vision and high quality work. Propose either a solo presentation or ensure a dialogue between artists or thematic continuity in their multiple-artist presentation;
- Present artists and themes that represent the cutting edge, new ideas, or tell stories that haven’t been told;
- Provide information on connections with any significant collections or institutions who they will bring to the fair;
- Present a program that is engaged with the contemporary art market and show insight and connectedness with international collectors;
- Provide full pricing transparency where possible, including price lists for collectors to take away – our data shows that this is essential for sales during and post-fair
Proposals will be reviewed by the Artistic Director, with oversight from our international Board of Advisors.
