Artist Recruitment

This edition of 100+ Talents focuses on the individual expression of artists, emphasizing the deep connection between the works and their creators. Artists from various fields across Asia are invited to participate in this platform for creation and exchange.

 

Application Contents

There are no restrictions on the form of the exhibited works. We welcome artworks in all forms and encourage artists to explore diverse materials in their creations. Beyond existing or previously exhibited works, we are also open to presenting more interactive pieces, live creations, and improvisational performances. According to the artwork review policy, artists are requested to avoid submitting or exhibiting works containing obscene or pornographic content, promoting violence or war, superstition, or content harmful to national security.

 

Review and Confirmation

We sincerely thank every applicant for their interest in and participation in 100+ ART SEASON.

 

Application materials will be reviewed from August 17 to August 31, 2026. Selection results will be sent by email before August 31, 2026. Participation will be officially confirmed after both parties sign the exhibition agreement.

Confirmed participating artists must submit the final versions of their exhibited works by September 22, 2026.

 

The 100+ ART SEASON Committee will convene a review committee to assess the submitted application materials and reserves the final right to decide participation eligibility. Please ensure that all submitted materials are truthful, accurate and complete, so that the committee can better understand each applicant’s creative practice.

All artists are required to pay a booth fee of RMB 2,500 upon signing the exhibition agreement and confirming participation. This fee includes local accommodation in Shenzhen for 5 nights, covering the period from setup to dismantling. To support local artists, we offer a reduced participation fee of RMB 1,000 for artists based in Shenzhen (accommodation not included). Payment methods and deadlines will be communicated after the final list of participants is confirmed.

Independent Booth & Artistic Presentation

Selected artists will receive an independent exhibition space to present their creative practices and artistic narratives based on the characteristics of their works, allowing audiences to gain a deeper understanding of their artistic expressions.

Two types of booth formats will be available: standard booths and special booths. 100+ will make comprehensive arrangements based on the scale and quantity of artworks, presentation requirements, and the overall exhibition layout.

 

Audience Engagement & Resource Connections

Through the two-week festival structure, artists will have the opportunity to expand their audience network and engage directly with fellow artists, young collectors, creative consumers, brand partners, institutional representatives, and industry professionals.

 

These encounters provide valuable opportunities to receive authentic feedback while building connections across different fields and exploring future possibilities for collaboration.

 

Artwork Sales & Collection Opportunities

100+ will connect artists with potential collectors, art enthusiasts, and broader audiences interested in contemporary art. Artists may present original artworks, art editions, and creative products according to their own needs and strategies.

For artwork sales, 100+ will provide support throughout the process, including transaction assistance, purchase consultations, and order coordination, helping artists achieve smoother connections between artistic creation, sales, and collection.

 

100+ Awards & Platform Opportunities

The 100+ Awards will identify emerging talents through professional evaluation and invited jury members. Award-winning artists will have opportunities to access further resources, including collaboration opportunities, artist residencies, exhibitions, and other development platforms.

We believe that an award is not only a recognition of achievement, but also a new starting point for an artist’s continued growth.

 

Professional Support & On-site Assistance

100+ provides participating artists with comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from application and exhibition preparation to on-site participation.

For artists joining from different regions or overseas, 100+ will provide local accommodation support, artwork transportation assistance, and necessary on-site interpretation services, ensuring artists can focus on their preparation and presentation with confidence.

 

Media Exposure & Promotional Opportunities

100+ will promote participating artists and their works through official channels and media partners, creating continuous exposure before, during, and after the event.

During the 100+, we will also conduct photography, interviews, and documentation to create valuable content assets for artists’ future communication and promotion, expanding their visibility and influence.

 

Beyond the Exhibition: More Opportunities for the future

Through the resources of the Shenzhen Fringe Art Centre, including its physical spaces, public programs, content platforms, and networks with external media, brands, and cultural institutions, 100+ will continue to support artists by creating opportunities for future exhibitions, promotion, resource connections, and platform recommendations.

The exhibition is not an endpoint, but the beginning of an ongoing journey.
