SP-Arte

Since 2005, SP–Arte is a global arts event that brings together renowned art and design galleries, representing, in every edition, over 2,000 artists in the historical Oscar Niemeyer Bienal Pavilion. During the event, local museums and cultural institutions host a strong parallel program including panel discussions, exhibition openings, and special visits that offer an overview of São Paulo’s contemporary art circuit. SP–Arte plays an essential role in Latin America’s art market and strongly contributes to Brazil’s creative economy. In 2022, SP–Foto, the traditional August event, grew to encompass multiple artistic languages. Focusing on selected projects, whether solo or collective, Rotas Brasileiras seeks to strengthen ties between the five regions of the country, valuing diversity and the artistic production of the entire Brazilian territory. The fair takes place annually at ARCA, in Vila Leopoldina, accompanied by a program of lectures, editorial launches and other events that speak to its thematic lines.
