The participation includes the following services

– exhibition space dedicated to the artist’s works for SOLO and COLLECTIVE exhibitions

SOLO 

The artist sees the world with different eyes from the rest. He is able to see, feel, perceive and transmit things that others miss.

And there is no better way to share that point of view with the world than to exhibit your works in a place where everyone who wants to can come to see them.

Art galleries and museums have been doing the same thing for too many years to be wrong…. we offer that experience in the best way we know how.

Our space is divided into two sections; A section where you can place the physical works, and another section dedicated to the digital world. Where to exhibit more works than those that are physically there, in order to offer a more modern and immersive point of view.

In addition, we offer information on the creator of these works at all times, so that attendees can become familiar with the person behind the art...

Once the physical exhibition is over, it will continue to be exhibited in digital format for everyone to be able to find and purchase. This will be done through a virtual visit in the form of a video, showing the works that were exhibited at the time, on the website of our gallery. In this way we make an exhibition last over time and the artist can share the experience with the world and its creation.

The artist and his works, as well as the individual exhibition itself, will be publicized through social networks, on our website, and will also appear in our Agaphe Magazine.

COLLECTIVE 

Our collective exhibitions give different artists the opportunity to exhibit their creations at the same time in a single event celebrated in style.

Competition? It might seem like it, but no, it's not the goal.

Participants will be able to show the world their particular and personal points of view on the theme selected for the exhibition. According to the theme of the same, the participants will present their works to all attendees, so that the creativity of the artists is encouraged and it is a great celebration in the name of art.

The requirements to participate in a collective exhibition depend on the dates and realization of the same. And they will always be announced well in advance so that the artists can create the appropriate work for the event.

In general, the theme is usually related to a recognized artist from the past, a celebrity, a feeling, historical events, charitable causes, social works... Or they can even exist as free themes, which makes them even more exciting if possible.

Without a doubt, it is an opportunity for those more dynamic artists who wish to exploit their talent, seek new challenges, or simply want to see a different side to art.

In collective exhibitions, the most important thing is to understand that all the artists are part of something solid and strong, and that they are a team.

In addition to everything already mentioned, this type of event seeks, at an artistic level, to consolidate and strengthen relationships between artists. Collaborating in this enjoyable, fun and passionate way makes participants and attendees enjoy it and provides the opportunity to create something new and beautiful to show it to the world.

Without forgetting, the great commercial appeal that these events have since they bring together several artists in the same place. A total and utter luxury for any true art lover.
