The 13th Annual Montakhab-e Nasl-E-No started its work on July 21, 2023 with the presentation of 44 artists. Annual Montakhabe Nasl-E-No and other open calls in Iran, such as Khor Art Initiative, in the absence of art biennials in the Iranian art scene, consider their duty to discover new talents and monitor what is happening among new generation. Although the effects of these types of calls on the art market has not been studied in detail, without a doubt, open calls and juried shows are one of the ways through which gallery owners and other members of the art market discover new artists.

On this basis, participating in such events, can be one of the ways in which the artists are recognized by the members of the art world and get selected, but does this lead to artists enter the secondary art market?

To analyse this issue, we have put Montakhab-e Nasl-E-No under the microscope.
