>> selection process

• The selection process will consist of three rounds of screening, the results of which will be notified to all candidates.
• The second round of screening will result in:
  • the shortlist of artists who will be featured in Vol. 3 of RICE · The Contemporary Art Magazine Celebrating Equality and Inclusion . All shortlisted artists for the magazine will also be able to submit 5 to 10 artworks to be auctioned in partnership with liveauctioneers.com.
  • a list of 50 artists who will receive a voluntary and free 30-60 minute online session (via Zoom or Skype) through our Feedback Program, to receive career-focused feedback on their proposals and constructive advice of improvement for the future.
• The third round of screening will decide on the list of artists who will participate in a two-week long exhibit at MUTUO art gallery in Barcelona, Spain, in February 2020.
• In accordance with our Open Call Quota System, at least 70% of selected artists will be women or members of the LGTBQ community or racialized persons, and 30% of selected artists will be cisgender males. (Read more on why we are doing this in the ABOUT section on our website). Our first open call received less than 5% of proposals from the latter group of artists, hopefully this time we’ll receive more proposals from them.
