Isabela Prado and Juca Fiis have been selected via national open call for the 15th Mostra 3M de Arte, themed "A Cidade das Crianças" (The City of Children). The exhibition will open on September 13, 2026, at Parque Villa-Lobos in São Paulo, featuring new works alongside four invited artists. Prado, from Belo Horizonte, will present "Sonhar é preciso"; Fiis, from Rio de Janeiro, will present "Que Onda". Each receives a R$ 6,000 fee plus R$ 30,000 for production.
