Salón ACME is a platform and an art event created by artists for artists that gives visibility, impulse and dissemination to emerging creators who develop their work both in Mexico and abroad. Created in 2013, Salón ACME has had eleven editions, and has managed to position itself as one of the most authentic contemporary art events internationally, fostering new audiences and consolidating a community of artists, curators and collectors. Salón ACME has six sections: Open Call, Estado, Bodega, Projects, Sala and Patio.
Open Call
The main exhibition at Salón ACME is held every year based on an open call. This allows us to learn about the work of a wide diversity of artists, broadening our horizons. A Curatorial Board, which changes every year, composed by artists, curators, academics, gallery owners and museum directors is in charge of reviewing and selecting the participants.
Artists of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds are welcome to apply. All disciplines, themes and formats are encouraged. The Call will remain open until September 20th, 2024.
