ABOUT ESTE ARTE

WHAT WE DO

At a human scale, ESTE ARTE is an international quality art fair, with strong regional roots and presenting an engaging Cultural Program. The fair brings an artistic offering that ranges from historical avant-gardes to contemporary art, generating a far-reaching art exhibition for regional and international visitors alike. The exhibitors program hosts a carefully selected group of the most prestigious contemporary art galleries. Featuring young and established galleries, the fair aims to be the place where collectors can find works of established artists as well as artists at the beginning of their career.

HOW WE DO IT

We support an inclusive art market’s development. We encourage exhibitors presenting artists from underrepresented minority groups, such as: ethnicity, race, religion, disability, or gender identity. Our ambition is to match the gallery with new potential art buyers and maintain connections with existing collectors.
We empower both private and institutional collections. The fair provides visitors with a chance to get to know the work of each gallery and its artists better. It is important that our visitors have access to and knowledge of the current collecting market for their area of interest, and are aware of current ethical practices and laws that may impact their collecting.
We contribute to the art field by delivering public talks, debates, scholarly conferences and publishing articles. We create a space for dialogue among artists, collectors and curators.

WHY WE DO IT

Art is knowledge. We believe in the intrinsic power of art and sharing knowledge. We believe in working collaboratively with everyone that is wiling to do so, we believe in affirmative action and giving opportunities to women. We aim to create a tradition of influence. We envision a cultural landmark, where the South American art system meets, exchanges ideas and thrives.
