Estilingue

Albuquerque Contemporânea is pleased to announce “Estilingue” (Slingshot), a regular program dedicated to launching the careers of emerging artists. The initiative acts as a catapult, offering structure, visibility, and mentorship to new talents in contemporary art.
The first edition will be dedicated to painting and will be curated by Alan Fontes, an artist with two decades of research in the language and a professor at the UFMG School of Fine Arts. His reflective perspective selected 12 young artists exploring the possibilities of painting today.
The inaugural exhibition opens on Saturday, October 4th at 10:00 am, occupying the main space on the first floor. In addition to the exhibition, the program includes a year of mentoring with working professionals, participation in fairs, and a final exhibition. This is an essential boost for the new generation of artists.
