Feria Artecerámica 2026 Open Call, Las Condes

The Las Condes Cultural Corporation invites ceramists, artists and artisans from across Chile to take part in the first edition of Feria Artecerámica 2026, a gathering that brings together leading figures in contemporary ceramics for exchange, exhibition and sale. The fair aims to raise the profile of ceramic craft and the work of national makers who develop original pieces, both sculptural and functional.

The fair will be held on October 2, 3 and 4, 2026 in the gardens of the Centro Cultural Las Condes. The call is open from June 15 through July 31, 2026, and ceramists, artists and artisans residing in Chile who work with original author pieces may apply. Technical requirements specify that works must be fully fired to maturity; pieces that are only bisque-fired or made through small-scale industrial processes will not be accepted.

Applications are made exclusively online through a digital form. Selection results will be published on August 15, 2026, decided by a committee that includes Martita Fresno of the cultural corporation's board, the noted ceramist Ruth Krauskopf, Carolina Cooper, head of extension and academy at the corporation, and Fernando Moya, visual arts producer.

Selected exhibitors pay a participation fee of 150,000 Chilean pesos, which includes a fitted space with electrical connection, an identifying sign, a table with cloth, two chairs and a display shelf. The organization also provides security, a promotional campaign and the provisional municipal permit needed to sell during the event. Artecerámica 2026 aims to become a meeting point for makers, collectors and the public around contemporary ceramics.
