Exact dimensions for each stand will be determined prior to acceptance notification, and rental costs will be billed accordingly at $7,500 Mexican Pesos per square meter + VAT (16%). Approximate costs in USD were calculated in early June 2024. Please note that exchange rates are subject to change, and Material cannot be held responsible for the final cost in USD.

In 2021, with the support of our Main Partner, Del Castillo y Castro Abogados, we relaunched our Projects section as Proyectos: a two-year program for Mexico-based, commercial and non-commercial organizations dedicated to the curation and exhibition of contemporary art.

By focusing exclusively on Mexican projects, we believe we can make a more measurable, lasting, and significant contribution to the ecosystem upon which the health and relevance of our own organization depends.

Young international galleries are encouraged to apply for our Galerías section.

The next call for applications for Proyectos will take place in the summer of 2025.
