Participate with Chili Art Gallery in Art Thessaloniki 2024
Chili Art Gallery @ Art Thessaloniki 2024
Curator: Paris Kapralos
Organizational Support & Submission Process Management: ARTgrID
ARTgrID is providing organizational support for Chili Art Gallery’s participation in the Art-Thessaloniki International Fair 2024, which will take place for the 7th time in Thessaloniki in the spring of 2024. Once again, it will showcase exceptional works of Greek artists to visitors from around the world, with a focus on the art market of the Balkans and the Middle East. Chili Art Gallery will participate with a prominent booth, featuring a limited number of artists selected with strict curatorial criteria by Mr. Paris Kapralos.
We invite you to submit your works: if selected, your work will be showcased to thousands of Greek and international visitors, collectors, professionals from the international Art Market, and art enthusiasts who gather at every event organized by the institution of Art at TIF/HELEXPO.
Terms & Conditions / Eligibility / Selection Process
Subject & Types of Artworks
The exhibition at the Chili Art Gallery booth at the Art-Thessaloniki International Fair 2024 is open to various forms of art. We accept works of Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Printmaking, digital art, as well as wall-mounted constructions and installations.
Exhibition Terms & Conditions
Artists who have reached the age of 18, regardless of their origin, nationality, or place of residence, are eligible to participate in the exhibition.
Artwork Selection
ARTgrID manages the initial submissions on behalf of the Curator. We will respond to all artists who submit their work in the specified format, but the final selection is the responsibility of the Curator. The goal is to ensure the best possible presentation, both aesthetically and conceptually. The arrangement of artworks, space dimensions, and other related matters are not subject to negotiation or discussion but are part of the curatorial decision-making process, aimed at ensuring the overall success of the Chili Art Gallery’s presentation at the Art-Thessaloniki International Fair 2024. Incomplete or insufficient submissions will not receive a response.
Transportation / Insurance / Artworks requirements
The artworks will be sent to two designated collection points that will be announced to the selected artists. It is the responsibility and expense of the artist to arrange for the transportation. ARTgrID and Chili Art Gallery staff will assist by providing all necessary information. The artist is responsible for all arrangements and costs related to framing, packaging, any customs duties, and transportation to and from the collection points.
The insurance of the artworks will only cover their presence at the exhibition. The insurance of the artworks is valid for their sale price from the day and time they are received at the Art Fair venue in Thessaloniki until Monday, May 27, 2024, at 11:00 AM.
Artworks on paper should be delivered framed, and artworks on canvas should be stretched. A frame refers to the border that surrounds an artwork. The frame can be made of wood, metal, or synthetic materials and may or may not include glass/plexiglass/acrylic. There should be wire on the back of the frame for hanging purposes. Specialized personnel will unpack, install, and, if necessary, repackage your artworks after the exhibition.
Promotion / Social & Mass Media Comunication
The artworks selected for the exhibition will be promoted online before the start of the exhibition. The exhibition will be showcased through social media, our company’s website, press releases, and communication with sponsors both locally in Thessaloniki and nationwide. General and special actions will be taken, such as interviews with participants, etc.
CATALOGS
Chili Art Gallery’s participation will be announced through the official website of the Art-Thessaloniki International Fair 2024. The announcement will include the participating artists. Similarly, Chili Art Gallery’s participation will be featured in pages of the printed catalog-guide that the Art Fair will publish. Regardless of the Art Fair’s provisions, ARTgrID will publish a bilingual commemorative catalog-book in digital format with detailed information about the artists, artworks, and Chili Art Gallery’s participation in the Art Fair. It will be available to all visitors for free through QR signage and, after the exhibition, through a permanent link accessible to everyone.
Targeted Public Relations
TARGETED AUDIENCE APPROACH
Our company, in collaboration with the Curator and Chili Art Gallery, will invite a targeted contact list in Thessaloniki, which includes art buyers, art dealers, gallery owners, collection managers of organizations, consuls, city museums, and journalists. We will also organize guided tours and public discussions of the artworks.
INVITATIONS
Invitations will be sent to our entire email list, and a digital invitation template will be available for posting and sending to all participating artists. These invitations do not guarantee free admission to the Art Fair, which has general admission under the supervision of HELEXPO with day tickets priced at €9 and discounted tickets for children, artists, and students at €5.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS’ ACCESS
Exclusively for artists who will be present in Thessaloniki during the days when the exhibition is open, there will be 1 VIP entrance (access to the opening ceremony, which is by invitation only and cannot be purchased) + 3 Individual Free Entry Invitations. Badges are only provided to organizers, and 3 are allocated for each gallery. In the case of Chili Art Gallery, badges will be available for gallery owners and the Curator.
Artwork Sale / Artist’s Share / Pricing
SALES & ARTIST’S RATES
The artist guarantees that the submitted artworks are exclusively available for sale by them. Artworks that are not available for sale will not be accepted. All artworks accepted for display at the Chili Art Gallery booth at Art Thessaloniki 2024 will not be made available for sale to clients either by the artist or any intermediary. In the event of a sale, Chili Art Gallery retains a 35% commission. The remaining 65% of the agreed-upon price (excluding VAT) will be paid to the artist within 4 weeks. Chili Art Gallery is solely responsible for the sale of the artwork from the moment it is delivered for participation in the event until the artwork is returned to the artist.
SUBMISSION / PARTICIPATION COST
Submission is free of charge. Costs apply only for participation if the artist is selected and accepts the Curatorial Proposal. The participation cost is €800 for each artist, regardless of the number, size, or type of artworks representing them, as these vary depending on the personal proposal sent to each selected artist by the Curator. The amount must be paid within 20 days from the moment of the artist’s selection to secure their spot in the event.
