3RDSPACE selects artists through a highly competitive open call application process that is shared with national partners, university programs, and media outlets. Young Collectors Contemporary Advisory Group also invites local and national artists to participate in the fair.
3RDSPACE is committed to elevating the role of arts in the community by supporting creative individuals from diverse artistic and cultural backgrounds.
Selected Emerging Artists are provided travel and art shipping costs and receive 85% of the sale of their work, in order to eliminate barriers in growing their practice and reaching new audiences.
We believe that these artists are some of the top artists to discover and collect now.
