One way for Argentinian artists to become known is to win the Visual Arts prize that the Salon Nacional awards each year in any of its 8 categories (painting, etching, sculpture, drawing, photography, ceramic arts, textile arts and installations).
Salon Nacional was founded in 1911, with the idea of fostering Argentinian artistic development and this is what they've done for the last 100 years. Salon Nacional has always been recognized as a very important space where pieces of art are legitimated and aesthetic parameters are set.
Only a few days remain before the exhibition of the works of this years winners are taken down (October 16), if you have time, it is worth a visit.
Where? At the Palais de Glace, Libertador Avenue 1248.
Enjoy!
