ArteBa is one of Latin America’s largest contemporary art fairs.
Taking place over three days, the annual Buenos Aires event attracts over 120,000 art junkies from across the planet and provides visitors the chance to hobnob with the Argentine elite, artists and celebrities.
Sponsored by The ArteBA Foundation and brought together with the help of a multitude of corporate sponsors, the Buenos Aires Culture Department, and with 84 participating galleries, ArteBA provides visibility for established local artists and a platform for emerging artists to get their work noticed on the international level.
Founded in 1991, the fair also aids in the acquisition of new works for some of Argentina’s top museums including MALBA.
The art fair takes place at the Palermo exhibition center, Costa Salguero.
