Plus234 Art Fair has announced an open call for artists to participate in its upcoming 2025 edition, scheduled to take place from March 27 to March 31, 2025. This initiative aims to nurture and uplift Nigeria's burgeoning art scene by providing a platform for emerging and mid-career artists to showcase their work, engage with collectors, and connect with a diverse audience of art enthusiasts and industry professionals.
Eligibility Criteria
The fair invites applications from artists working in various mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and digital art. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and are required to submit original artworks created by themselves.
Each artist can submit a minimum of four artworks, accompanied by high-resolution images (JPG or PNG format) labeled with essential details such as the artist's name, artwork title, medium, dimensions, and year of creation. For example, an image file might be labeled as "Ideh Eyimofe-2D-Tears of Joy-Oil on Canvas-2x4ft-2020."
Submission Guidelines
Artists must ensure that all submitted works are available for exhibition at the fair. The selection committee will review all submissions, and only selected artworks will be exhibited. By submitting their work, artists affirm that their creations are original and do not infringe on any copyright or intellectual property rights. Additionally, the organizers reserve the right to use submitted images for promotional purposes related to the fair.
The deadline for submissions is February 10, 2025. This year's theme, "Championing Patronage in Nigerian Art," emphasizes the importance of meaningful support for artists, extending beyond financial backing to include community engagement and relationship building.
A Platform for Growth
The Plus234 Art Fair is dedicated to fostering the growth of Nigeria's art sector while enhancing its international recognition. The fair not only showcases a diverse array of artistic expressions but also facilitates networking opportunities among artists, collectors, and industry professionals.
