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.

 

Artist Professional Service Fee

To support artists participating in 100+ Talents and to facilitate exhibition preparation, artwork presentation, project coordination, and promotional activities, selected artists are required to pay an Artist Professional Service Fee.

 

1、Artists based outside Shenzhen: RMB 2,500. Includes up to five nights of accommodation in Shenzhen during the installation and exhibition period.

2、Shenzhen-based artists: RMB 1,000. Accommodation is not included.

 

The Artist Professional Service Fee covers professional support throughout the exhibition process, including artist coordination, exhibition planning and communication, promotional support, on-site services, and post-exhibition resource development. This fee is not a rental fee for the exhibition space.

 

Each selected artist will be assigned an exhibition space by the Committee based on the overall curatorial concept and venue layout. A standard exhibition space is approximately 2 x 4 metres and includes basic exhibition walls, lighting, and electrical access. Final booth location, dimensions, and orientation are subject to the overall exhibition plan.

 

Any requirements beyond the standard exhibition support—including custom-built structures, display furniture, specialized equipment, additional electrical supply, artwork transportation, insurance, extended accommodation, or other special installation arrangements—will be reviewed individually, with any associated costs to be confirmed separately.

 

Confirmation & Payment

No fees are required at the application stage

Following selection, artists will be invited to sign a Participation Agreement, after which the Artist Professional Service Fee will be payable in accordance with the agreed terms.

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.
