Open Call ReA! Art Fair 2026

ReA Arte invites Italian and international emerging artists to participate in the VI edition of ReA! Art Fair, a fair dedicated to emerging contemporary art. The fair will be held in Milan at the Fabbrica del Vapore from 22 to 25 October 2026. The open call is accepting applications from 20 January to 1 May 2026, with 50 artists selected to exhibit their works in a unified curatorial exhibition project.

Applications must be submitted online via www.reafair.com/open-call and must include an artist statement, updated portfolio, and bio/CV. Registration fees are €40.00 for Early Bird submissions (20 January to 20 March 2026) and €55.00 for Standard submissions (21 March to 1 May 2026). All visual art categories are accepted, including painting, drawing, photography, video, performance, sculpture, mixed media, digital art, and street art. There are no thematic restrictions.

Selected artists will be notified via newsletter on 1 June 2026. Participation in the fair entails no additional costs beyond the registration fee, and all sales proceeds go entirely to the artists. Selected participants will have access to awards in collaboration with partner institutions, which have previously included financial contributions, artist residencies, and participation in group exhibitions. ReA Arte is a non-profit cultural association founded in 2020 that promotes and supports emerging artists through exhibitions, collaborations with cultural institutions, and advisory services.
