Art Basel is calling for applications for the 2015 edition of the show in Basel, taking place from Thursday, June 18, to Sunday, June 21, 2015.

Galleries may apply to the following sectors for the presentation of their works:

Galleries 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 apply and are judged for selection based upon their overall program, while also outlining their 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 in this sector apply and are judged based upon their program, while also outlining their booth concept.

Statements is the platform for galleries presenting emerging artists for discovery by the international art world via a solo show of related works—please note that there is a preference given by the selection committee to single projects. Selection is based on the proposal, not on the gallery’s overall activities. As of 2014, this sector has moved back into upstairs level of Hall 2.1, alongside the Galleries and Feature sectors.

Feature focuses on precisely curated projects, such as a presentation by a single artist, 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.

Application forms outlining the procedures and relevant costs for each of these sectors may be downloaded from artbasel.com/basel/applications

Deadline: Tuesday, September 16, 2014

The Art Basel team is always happy to assist you. Should you have questions about the application process, please do not hesitate to contact applications@artbasel.com.
