Organized by Carpe Diem Arte e Pesquisa (CDAP) and the Millennium bcp Foundation, Exposição de Arte Jovem Fundação Millennium bcp has been one of the most important platforms for the recognition of young talent in Portugal’s visual arts.

This exhibition also has a competition that will award six of the selected artists. The awards include trips, residencies, exhibitions and acquisition prizes.

Being a project focused on senior students, the training of these young artists given by the different Portuguese colleges is also under scrutiny.

In parallel, in an extra competition event, the artists Joana Ramalho and Anabela Soares, attached to Associação Manicómio/P28, also have an exhibition.

The jury is composed of Emília Ferreira (Director of the National Museum of Contemporary Art), Paula Lopez Zambrano (Independent Curator) and Sandro Resende (Director of P28). The date of the final results has yet to be announced.
