ARKO GESTIÓN CULTURAL and NOCAPAPER BOOKS & MORE have created the MEET ME IN ARTS project with the illusion of offering creators the possibility to show and analyze their project with the help of a team of professionals from the sector formed by: managers, curators, gallery owners and collectors, in an environment of creation, favoring dialogue with other artists, collaborative work and the creation of contacts that strengthen the professional fabric.
The viewing of portfolios is a powerful tool that favors the dissemination of artistic work, professional analysis, critical thinking, reflection on projects and individualized advice. An activity in which participants can interact and share their projects with professionals and other visual artists.
This activity may be of interest to those authors who already have a completed project and are looking to show it to professionals, as well as those who are developing it and seeking professional guidance.
Our desire is to hold a meeting that goes beyond professional consulting, favoring direct communication with professionals and the exchange of experiences with other artists.
