In general, we are always interested to see new work an to learn of new artists. Please send us five (5) slides that are representative of your work with a c.v., contact information, and any representation to us at:

ATTN: PORTFOLIO
The World Bank Art Program
1818 H Street, N.W.
MSN 1-102
Washington, D.C. 20433
U.S.A

For consistency, we request slides. We review submissions periodically. Given the number of submissions, we cannot promise to return your materials. We will send you a note confirming our receipt of your information.

Acquisitions are highly selective. For practical reasons we rarely acquire or exhibit three-dimensional art (especially glass or ceramic) given the difficulty of handling and storage in a non-museum environment. Proposals are strongly preferred from artists from countries to which the Bank lends resources.
