Support from Cepsa, which was already in place in 2015, in order to rescue this showcase of art in the Islands, after several years without it being staged, has been renewed on this occasion by Fundación Cepsa, which was set up almost a year ago.
All artists born or resident in the Canary Islands will, until October 04, be able to come together at this biennial. There are no restrictions on the subject and technique to be used, and each participant can register with one work only, which must be original and not presented previously at any event.

With the works chosen in a first selection round, an exhibition will be mounted and be put on display at the La Recova Art Center. The terms and conditions also provide for the possibility that the first prize winner may stage an individual exhibition in one of the halls managed by the OAC.
Throughout the history of this Plastic Arts Biennial, renowned and prestigious creative talent such as that of Pedro Gonzalez, Enrique Lite, Maribel Maribel, Pepe Abad, Ramón Díaz or Fernando Poplar have received awards.
