The Format
The Apanage Days transform commercial screens into temporary exhibition spaces. For a defined period and in a concentrated location, billboards normally reserved for advertising become sites of curatorial presentation.
Art appears not in isolation, but in motion — visible to thousands, embedded in the everyday, and delivered with the same precision as a global campaign.

Why the Evaluation Document
Curation is value and trust. What is selected carries a standard, legible to those who see it, and backed by the institution that selected it.
Artists who are not curated receive a curatorial evaluation document: the reasoning behind the decision, and the specific points that would sharpen the next submission in the art world.

Frequently Asked
FAQ
What is the concept behind the Apanage Days?
The Apanage Days are a curated exhibition format that places contemporary art on commercial billboard infrastructure in public space. For a defined period, screens normally reserved for advertising become sites of curatorial presentation — visible to thousands, embedded in the everyday, and delivered with institutional precision.
What is the Apanage Month?
The Apanage Month is an extended edition of the Apanage Days. Rather than concentrating visibility into a defined weekend, the Apanage Month sustains curated presence over an entire calendar month. The curatorial approach and selection process remain identical.
How are exhibition locations selected?
Each edition is site-specific. Locations are selected based on cultural infrastructure, public visibility, and strategic relevance.
Can brands, galleries, or cultural institutions participate?
The Apanage Days are built on partnerships with cultural and commercial actors. Inquiries regarding collaboration, sponsorship, or institutional involvement can be directed to talk@apanage.gallery.
Who can apply?
Applications are open to contemporary artists working across all media — digital, analog, photography, painting, mixed media, and beyond. There are no restrictions by nationality, age, or institutional affiliation.
How does the selection process work?
Each edition is guided by a curatorial statement that defines the thematic and conceptual framework. Selection is conducted by an independent curatorial committee — the Artistic Director and two external guest curators.
The process operates in two phases. In the first phase, submissions are evaluated on whether the curatorial statement has been understood and meaningfully engaged with. Shortlisted artists then work directly with the billboard format in the second phase.

What is the acceptance rate?
For the Apanage Days Cyprus, 146 artists were curated from 634 submissions — an acceptance rate of 23%. Selection is competitive and reflects the curatorial standard of the format.
Can I apply for a specific edition?
Applications are always tied to a specific upcoming edition. The currently open application is for the Apanage Month Larnaca in December 2026.
What happens if my application is not selected?
Every applicant receives a structured evaluation document regardless of the outcome. Applications that are not selected for one edition may be reconsidered for future editions upon resubmission.
What does participation include?
Selected artists receive public presentation on billboard infrastructure, professional documentation of the exhibition, and integration into the Apanage editorial and press cycle. Participation for curated artists is free of charge.
What is the curatorial fee?
The non-refundable curatorial fee of 35 € covers the structured evaluation of every submission. Each applicant receives a detailed curatorial assessment. This is not a participation fee — selected artists exhibit at no additional cost.
Are there optional services?
Curated artists may access optional add-ons such as artist consultancy, professional footage, or Apanage Night tickets. All optional services are entirely voluntary.
How will the work be displayed?
Artworks are presented on high-resolution LED billboard infrastructure in public space. Each work is formatted and adapted for specific screen dimensions.
Who retains the rights to the exhibited work?
Artists retain full rights to their work. Apanage receives a limited license for documentation, editorial use, and promotional purposes.
When and where does the Apanage Month Larnaca take place?
The Apanage Month Larnaca runs for the entire month of December 2026. Curated works will be presented on the largest billboard in Larnaca, Cyprus.
Is this edition connected to European Capital of Culture 2030?
Larnaca has been designated European Capital of Culture 2030. The Apanage Month operates independently within this cultural context.
How does the Apanage Month differ from the Apanage Days?
The Apanage Month extends the exhibition duration from a weekend to an entire calendar month. The curatorial standards and selection process remain identical.
Will there be on-site events?
The on-site programme will be announced over the course of the year. Confirmed: New Year's Eve will be celebrated with an Apanage Night for curated artists and Members Club members.
Do I have the chance to sell my artwork with Apanage?
The primary focus lies in providing institutional legitimation. The sale of artworks is planned and will be discussed individually with selected participants.
