Open Call
From the 20th of April to the 25th of May, the invitation to select works from the 10th 3M Art Show received 338 entries - 222 more than last year's announcement - from 87 cities. It is an initiative that has always accompanied the exhibition and that promotes national artistic production. In order to obtain greater transparency in the selection processes, a jury was formed by curator Camila Bechelany, composed of Camilla Rocha Campos and Eva González-Sancho Bodero.

González-Sancho Bodero is currently co-curating osloBIENNALEN FIRST EDITION 2019–2024, a project owned and funded by the Oslo Agency for Cultural Affairs, which sets out to explore the particular questions deriving from art in public space through an evolving five-year programme.
