CALL FOR ENTRIES PRE ART BASEL A-B(O)MB EXHIBITION IN MIAMI. 2008
Artoconecto presents 'A-B(o)MB' (Art Basel (of) Miami Beach), a juried show of
emerging national and international artists that will be a preview for the most important international
art fair in the United States. Jury Prize Winner(s), will have their work exhibited during Art Basel week in
Miami. Art Basel/Miami Beach has been said to have surpassed New York's Armory Show as well as
ArtChicago in importance to collectors of international contemporary and modern art.
Artoconecto, in conjunction with Bakehouse Arts Complex (BAC) http://www.bacfl.org/, will examine the
impact of Art Basel Miami Beach on the art world by showing the best of cutting-edge new and
emerging artists from the United States and abroad. Artists in all media are encouraged to apply. Our
shows take place in a festive and unique atmosphere, and include live music and performance. This will
be our first show in Miami, after over a dozen shows in Washington, DC, where Artoconecto was a
National Endowment for the Arts Grantee.
Artists from all over the world will be asked to submit their work, and the jury will select that work
which best exemplifies the cutting edge of emerging art, to be exhibited in this pre-Basel showcase.
The artist or artists who are selected for jury prizes, will have their work shown during Art Basel week,
later in December. Being a part of Miami's burgeoning art scene, and having the chance to be promoted
during Art Basel, is a huge opportunity for any artist who participates.
Deadline for submissions is September 5, 2008, with the opening reception to be held on October 11,
2008. To enter the guidelines please visit http://www.artoconecto.org. For more information please
contact Alexandra Rangel-Brody at Artoconecto@gmail.com or call at 786-246-2052.
