Prizes and Grants
2019

premios-02

SP-Arte constantly looks for ways to create and strengthen bonds that bring together different players from the art circuit. As such, it fosters activities aimed at artists, curators, institutions and galleries. These initiatives encourage continuous learning opportunities through residency grants abroad, offered to Brazilian creators, and financial support for the development of creative projects.

Check out below the prizes offered during SP-Arte 2019, at the Bienal Pavilion.
