Call for applications VIENNAFAIR 2014

Application deadline: 15 April, 2014

VIENNAFAIR The New Contemporary is proud to announce its 10th edition from 2 – 5 October 2014

VIENNAFAIR The New Contemporary has established itself as the top-ranking platform for contemporary art originating from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, and as a vital meeting point for artists, galleries, collectors, and institutions from East and West.

With the growing number of domestic and international art collectors and professionals who visit Austria's leading contemporary art fair and ever-rising sales to match, the event has become a new highlight on the global art calendar.

Thanks to the ongoing visionary and diligent work of its galleries, institutions and museums, Vienna continues to be the beating heart of the contemporary art community in the region, offering a dazzling array of art and culture to its visitors.

VIENNAFAIR The New Contemporary boasts an impressive series of fringe events such as VIENNA Duet, ZONE1 and VIENNA Family. With a new series of talks aimed at keeping the finger on the pulse of today's contemporary art scene and a new edition of the Collectors Talks Forum, VIENNA Talks once again promises to be one of the highlights of the fair.
