The call for galleries for participation in CIRCA08 is now open until
October 22nd.

CIRCA Puerto Rico '08, the third edition of the first international art
fair in the Caribbean and Central America, will be held from April 11 -
April 14, 2008 at the new Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, and
will feature around 35 commercial galleries from Puerto Rico, Latin
America, the United States, and Europe.

CIRCA PR'08 will once again bring the best of Contemporary art to a local
and international audience of collectors. It is the only art fair of its
kind in the Caribbean and Central America, where an important group of
collectors, has emerged in the past few years.

In just two years, CIRCA PR has shown its potential to give new visibility
to the Caribbean art world where an exciting mix of regional artists,
gallerists, institutions, and collectors, together with a selection of
international galleries, offered a very personal and dynamic art fair.

Pre-selected galleries
Some of the pre-selected galleries for CIRCA '08 edition are Blow de la
Barra (London), Spielhaus &amp; Morrison (Berlin), Air de Paris (Paris),
Marta Cervera (Madrid), Samson Projects (Boston), Museum 52 (London),
Spinello Gallery (Miami), Casas Riegner (Bogota), Contemporary Fine Arts
(Berlin), and Galer&iacute;a Walter Otero (Puerto Rico). The final list of
selected galleries will be published on our website by November 10th.

Size does matter
Far from the madding crowds and the gigantism of most of the art fairs, at
CIRCA PR we are convinced that an art fair should be small, intimate, and
intellectually challenging. CIRCA will continue with its humane scale in a
friendly and sunny setting allowing gallerists, collectors and other art
professionals to interact on a more personal one-to-one basis.

What the press said about CIRCA '07:
 &quot;the fair featured a great mix of dealers and independent thinkers
that aren't found at other art fairs&quot;  (Walter Robinson, artnet.com)
  &quot;Puerto Rico has something unique to offer to the world, which is
increasingly about money and seeing the same thing everywhere you go&quot;
( Joel Weinstein, Flash Art)
  &quot;CIRCA is shaping up to be an exciting initiative&quot; (Amanda
Coulson Tema Celeste)
 &quot;Puerto Rico possesses one of the highest densities of collectors
that I know of in the art world&quot; (Fernando Gal&aacute;n Art.es)

Curated exbitions at CIRCA '08 and around Puerto Rico
For the section In the Spot two guest curators will put together a
revolutionary concept based exhibition from works exhibited at the fair;
at the end of the day the curator will engage in a critical dialogue with
the audience. Besides, CIRCA will host a challenging complementary
programme of openings a.o. at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), and
at Espacio 1414, the private exhibition space of the Berezdivin
Collection.

Chambres des Collecteurs and Collector's Programme
In response to the bourgeoning and dynamic artistic community, an
important group of private collectors has emerged in Puerto Rico. In
cooperation with these collectors and in hommage to Jan Hoet's Chambres
d'Amis (1986), the section &quot;Chambres des Collecteurs&quot; offers
during CIRCA a unique possibility of visiting private collections.

In this sense, Fernando Gal&aacute;n, editor of Art.es, who attended last
year's edition observed that &quot;Generally speaking, Puerto Rico's
collections are very international in character, which is evidence of a
very open temperament that avoids falling into impoverishing
localisms.&quot;

An interesting and edgy collector's programme will be designed with visits
to private collector's houses, artists' studios, gallery walk, museum
openings, and parties in order to make Puerto Rico the ultimate experience
for the visiting collector and art lover while he enjoys the unique scene
of the Old San Juan and the incredible reggeat&oacute;n parties.
