With the aim of supporting contemporary creation and giving greater visibility to artists; prestigious collections, institutions and private foundations participate in the fair to award acquisition and residency prizes.

This year we have again CASA MER, Bassat Foundation and KELLS ART COLLECTION, with an acquisition award in which they will select an artist from the fair, whose work will become part of their art collections. The Klasse Collection will once again award an acquisition prize to a work that will become part of its collection. And for the first time, the STUDIOLO Collection will award its first acquisition prize.

Piramidón Centre d'Art Contemporani will award a residency and acquisition prize for the third consecutive year, Montresso* Art Foundation will award a residency prize to an artist from the fair and, for the first time, BOOM! Art Community joins the institutions in awarding another residency prize.
