The 13th edition of the BIANCOSCURO Art Contest (BAC) will culminate in two major events in 2026. On September 11, 2026, an official presentation ceremony will be held at Espace Fontvieille in Monte-Carlo, Monaco, where the official catalog of all works in competition will be unveiled. The grand finale and awards ceremony will take place on September 26, 2026, at Palazzo del Broletto in Pavia, Italy. The contest has attracted overwhelming international participation, confirming its status as a leading event for emerging and established art. The editorial by Vincenzo Chetta, director of BIANCOSCURO magazine, emphasizes the importance of tangible artistic expression in an era of increasing AI integration, and calls on artists, collectors, and galleries to support the creative ecosystem. The catalog is positioned as a key scouting tool for the art market. The events aim to combine international reach with local roots, celebrating the winners with awards, acquisition prizes, and international exhibition opportunities.
