VOLTA, the renowned art fair for new and emerging art, debuted in Basel, Switzerland in 2005 as a collaboration between dealers and friends. The aim was to secure a platform for international galleries beyond young art stalwart Liste and market heavyweight Art Basel. With the curatorial mind of Artistic Director Amanda Coulson, eclectic and dynamic presentations with a strong focus on solo presentations find a stage as refined as at the main fair.

VOLTA12 will take place at Markthalle in Basel, June 13 - 18, 2016, coinciding with Art Basel.

PREPARING YOUR APPLICATION

Therefore, a carefully considered booth concept is required. Please be as specific as possible in describing your presentation through images and text. Your booth presentation must correspond with your accepted proposal and initial artists in your application.
