ArPa closes 5th edition as a benchmark of Latin American art

Held May 27 to 31 at Mercado Livre Arena Pacaembu, in São Paulo, the 5th edition of ArPa released unprecedented data on the contemporary art market, and it confirms something the circuit had already felt firsthand: the sector is expanding and looking abroad. The fair's annual survey, in partnership with Agência Galo, shows that 92% of respondents perceive rising international interest in Latin American artists, 78% consider fairs essential for visibility and sales, and new collectors emerge as the most active profile, cited by 54%.

The edition brought together over 60 galleries from ten countries and reinforced both the curatorial model and its closeness to the Latin American scene.
