Artissima New Entries Fund

The upcoming edition confirms for the fourth year the Artissima New Entries Fund, a fund directly supported by the fair to provide financial support to three galleries in the New Entries section, dedicated to the most interesting emerging international galleries. An international jury will award the grant to the three galleries in the section deemed most deserving based on the artistic quality of their fair participation proposals. Artissima’s focus on discovering the potential of emerging galleries and artists, both in Italy and internationally, has been a defining aspect of the fair’s mission and research activities since its inception.
