miart only accepts applications from national and international galleries specialised in modern and contemporary art and in limited-edition design.

The applications for miart 2024 must be submitted for specific sections of the show. Therefore, the application form must be filled in with the relevant information.

Galleries may apply for more than one section of miart. A separate application form must be filled in for every exhibition project.

The exhibition project is subject to a payment of €400.00 (+ VAT if required*) “exhibition project fee”. The applications will be accepted only if the fee has been paid. The exhibition project fee remains the same in the event of applying for more than one section of miart.

 

The number of galleries that can take part in the show is limited. Successful exhibitors / galleries will be selected by Fiera Milano, at its sole discretion, also based on the evaluations of the Selection Committee set up under the artistic direction of miart.

Should the proposal not be accepted, the organizers will withhold the “exhibition project fee” to cover the operating expenses and the applicant gallery will not be entitled to any form of reimbursement.

 

Applications deadline: October 27, 2023.

 

*Galleries with a foreign VAT number are exempt from VAT prior declaration of their VAT numbers in the application form

 

 

 

Sections

Established

The main section of miart will host galleries who present contemporary art in its strictest interpretation as well as galleries presenting works produced before the year 2000, in a selection ranging from the masters of modern art to the most recent new creations. In this section, miart will also be accepting applications
from galleries in the field of collectible design, with special emphasis on the relationship between the visual and applied arts and on the design-oriented nature of exhibits. All applying galleries will be scrutinised by the selection committee and all the proposed projects will then be approved and eventually edited by a dedicated team of curators with the goal of presenting a coherent and orderly mix, promoting dialogue between galleries and between iconic artists and/or new talents, honouring tradition while looking boldly to the future.

 

Portal

The poet Giorgio Caproni once told the story of an English writer who – when accused of not paying attention to current events - replied: "If I want to talk about light, I am not interested in talking about the electric bulb, I am interested in lightning, the flash that belongs to everyone”.
In the same way, Portal is a deliberately anachronistic section, which nonetheless strips the term of its derogatory hue to restore it to its legitimate meaning - that of scrambling timelines to make sense of our time, capturing in the tumultuous and ever-changing flow of the present what is stable and lasting in art.
Curated by Abaseh Mirvali and Julieta González, the section brings together ten galleries presenting universes and artistic practices that are only apparently very distant: a window to the present, through parallel dimensions and unconventional prisms.
