Autumn Salon
Organised by the Orient Foundation and Macau Art For All Society (AFA), and sponsored by the Macao Cultural Development Fund, the annual art event "Autumn Salon" is now open for submissions and the selected works will be exhibited at the Orient Foundation from October to November 2023! Now in its 14th anniversary, this year's Autumn Salon will continue to be a platform for local artists to showcase their latest works. This year's Autumn Salon will be held in collaboration with ArtsBite, the first NFT buying and selling platform in Macau, to organise an online charity sale for local charity organisation Oxfam. All proceeds from the sale of NFT Against Poverty, after deducting a portion of the artist's costs, will be donated to Oxfam, with the aim of combining art and technology to help fight poverty.
Orient Foundation Art Award
To encourage young artists in Macau, each year the Oriental Foundation offers the "Oriental Foundation Art Award" to Macao residents, students studying or working in Macao, and artists of any nationality aged between 18 and 35. Winners will receive a cash prize of MOP10,000 and the opportunity to travel to Portugal for a one-month residency (including airfare, accommodation and other prizes totalling at least MOP40,000). Artists who wish to participate in the Oriental Foundation Art Prize will also have their works exhibited in the Oriental Foundation Gallery together with the selected works in the Autumn Salon if they win or are selected.

The Autumn Salon and the works selected by the Oriental Foundation Art Award will open the exhibition at the Oriental Foundation in Macau on 28 October and run from 28 October to November (dates to be confirmed).
