SP-Arte

SP-Arte has presented more than 15 editions of its São Paulo International Art Festival since it first launched in 2005. The fair presents and supports Brazil’s art community and thus strives to take the work to a wider audience. Renowned galleries gather to present around 2,000 artworks – from both emergent and established artists – to international collectors, dealers and art lovers. Discussion and networking are encouraged, and exchanges between dealers, artists and collectors are carried out. The range of mediums showcases is wide. Indeed, visitors can view and purchase large-scale paintings, sculptures, mixed media pieces and photographs as well. Additionally, alongside the trade exhibition itself, the lively art show includes a programme of art performances, tours, talks and book launches. SP-Arte runs another show launched in 2007 – SP-Foto – entirely dedicated to the photographic medium that takes place every year in August.
