For Participants

We invite artists from around the world to apply for the RIGA CONTEMPORARY SURREALISM BIENNALE 2026, a joint project by Art Riga Fair (Latvia) and VOYZX Fine Art Project (Canada).

The Biennale is a global platform for experimentation, showcasing artists whose oeuvre relates to Automatism, Biomorphism, Dada, Metaphysical Art, and Surrealism. We consider the following types of visual art: paintings, graphics, collages, original printmaking, photographs, ceramics, mixed media objects, video, sculptures, and installations.
