ARTBO, the International Art Fair of Bogotá, promises to be an enriching experience for anyone passionate about contemporary art, offering a unique glimpse into the vibrant Latin American art scene. Its blend of commercial and non-commercial sections, coupled with its international reach, makes it a standout event in the global art calendar.
For four days, this prestigious fair brings together galleries, curators, artists, and the general public from around the world, establishing itself as one of the most important and daring platforms for cultural exchange and research in Latin America.
What sets ARTBO apart is its unwavering commitment to quality and diversity. Each year, the fair showcases some of the most significant cultural exhibitions in Colombia's visual arts scene, becoming the centerpiece of the artistic circuit that takes place in Bogotá during September. This dedication to excellence has earned ARTBO a spot on the global art world's calendar of unmissable events.
Over the years, ARTBO has grown steadily while maintaining its carefully curated selection of galleries in the Main section which takes place in Bogota’s principal convention centre and its experimental program of non-commercial circuits throughout the city. The fair also features a dedicated area for cultural institutions, publishers, and publications, where various national and international cultural agents can promote and disseminate their work.
Complimenting the main event there are a host of satellite shows with open studios across the city, including BARCU in La Candelaria, Espacio Odeon in city center as well as special shows and events in San Felipe, La Macarena as well as Design Circuit for design lovers.
