Organizer Information
Artly Mix is an independent, artist-led, and self-funded arts organization based in the Vila Mariana district of São Paulo, Brazil. Since launching its first exhibition in 2019, the organization has presented the work of more than 800 artists from 78 countries, creating international exhibition opportunities for both emerging and established practitioners. Artly Mix focuses on removing common barriers to international exhibiting by allowing artists to participate remotely without shipping original works abroad. The organization manages the complete exhibition production process—including printing, mounting, installation, promotion, and documentation—making it easier for artists worldwide to present their work to Brazilian audiences. Through its regular international exhibitions, Artly Mix aims to promote artistic diversity, encourage cultural exchange, and build direct connections between artists and collectors while maintaining an artist-centered, non-commercial approach.
Title & Description
OPEN CALL - Pulse Exhibition
Pulse Exhibition 2026 is an international open call inviting artists from around the world to participate in a group exhibition taking place in São Paulo, Brazil, from 12–25 September 2026. The exhibition welcomes artworks on an open theme, allowing applicants complete creative freedom regardless of style or subject matter.
Unlike traditional exhibitions requiring artists to transport original works internationally, Pulse Exhibition operates through a digital exhibition model. Artists submit high-quality digital files of their artwork, which are professionally printed, mounted, installed, and displayed by the organizers in Brazil. This approach significantly reduces the logistical challenges and costs associated with international exhibitions by eliminating shipping, customs procedures, insurance, and artwork handling.
The exhibition accepts a broad range of artistic disciplines. Two-dimensional works such as paintings, illustrations, photography, mixed media, digital art, and drawings may be submitted as digital image files. Three-dimensional works—including sculpture and installation—can also be entered through professionally photographed images. Video artworks, short films, and performance documentation are likewise eligible, provided they do not exceed 10 minutes in duration.
Selected artists benefit from professional exhibition presentation, marketing, event documentation, and an opportunity to introduce their work to new international audiences without needing to travel to Brazil. The exhibition opens with a public reception on 12 September 2026 at Echos Studio in São Paulo.
