At ARQA, we understand that visibility leads to viability — and that for a new gallery, the right introduction can change everything.

With over 25 years of combined experience producing elite exhibitions and international art fairs, the ARQA team knows the art market is not always won on the show floor. Sometimes, a collector purchases six months later. Sometimes, a museum director circles back when timing aligns. A smart exhibitor knows this — it’s not only about the weekend sales, but about relationships, positioning, and presence.

Grants for Emerging Galleries

That’s why we created the Emerging Galleries Grant: to help promising young galleries elevate their platform, meet serious collectors, and learn how to operate at the highest level of the international circuit.

This is not a discount — it’s an investment.

We provide meaningful support for those we believe in, and who show a curatorial voice worth amplifying.

Our Emerging Galleries Grant Includes:

• Preferential booth rates for selected emerging galleries

• Strategic marketing visibility across our social and partner networks

• Curatorial guidance to help tailor your presentation for high-level acquisition environments

• A featured placement in our “Rising Voices” initiative inside the Mirage Room, alongside the next wave of digital and experimental art programs

• Insider tips on how to build lasting relationships, pitch effectively, and turn participation into pipeline

Selection is highly competitive and based on originality, professional presentation, curatorial alignment with ARQA’s standards, and long-term potential.

We are happy to help those who are serious about growth.

Not every sale is immediate, but every encounter counts.
