(Art) Show


Explanation:
10th Campinas Art Show

More common in English for actual name of professional art exhibitions.
(i.e. a professional exhibition is a "show").

Check Google for "London Art Show" / New York Art Show / Los Angeles Art Show etc etc...

Notes to answerer
Asker: It seems that is the answer.

Asker: It was hard for me to choose. As a non-native speaker both sound good to me. And there were native speakers for both answers. I agree that your suggestion will be useful to future searches. I will keep your suggestion in mind next time I go to a "Salão de Artes". Thank you.

neutral  kashew: Maybe I'm old-fashioned! Why not Art Show - short and snappy and modern! Salon no?

  -> Fair enough! My suggestion may be useful for future Kudoz Term Searches as an acceptable alternative to consider. Not convinced about UK/US issue here, but to me it sounds more natural to say "10th Campinas Art Show" than "10th Campinas Exhibition".
