The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) has announced an open call for exhibition proposals for the Collateral Exhibitions of “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2025” in a recent statement.
The selected proposals will be promoted as part of “Art Macao 2025”, with the aim of “increasing the visibility of local exhibitions on the international stage”, the statement noted.
The call welcomes proposals for the Collateral Exhibitions to be inaugurated between July 19 and October 12, running for at least two weeks. The proposers are responsible for securing their own exhibition venues, with no restrictions on scale or format, subject to legal and safety requirements, according to the statement, adding that the proposers will also bear the organisational expenses for their exhibition.
Those who are eligible to apply comprise Macau residents aged 18 or above, higher education institutions, commercial enterprises, and community associations registered in Macau. The statement said that the applications, including the application form and exhibition proposal in PDF format, must be submitted to artmacao@icm.gov.mo by 5 p.m. on May 23.
Chief Curator of “Art Macao 2025”, Feng Boyi (馮博一), will select the proposals based on curatorial concept, exhibit quality, thematic relevance, curatorial team qualifications, proposal feasibility, and venue compatibility, according to the statement. The statement also noted that proposals submitted for other sections of “Art Macao 2025” are not eligible.
The “Art Macao 2025,” is themed “Hey, what brings you here?,” and features six sections: “Main Exhibition”, “Public Art Exhibition”, “City Pavilion”, “Special Exhibition”, “Local Curatorial Project”, and “Collateral Exhibition”, the statement said.
