ARCOlisboa

What is ARCOlisboa?

ARCOlisboa 2024 has once again turned the Portuguese capital into a meeting place for collectors, gallery owners, artists and professionals from all over the world. In its seventh edition, from 23 to 26 May, the Cordoaria Nacional hosted the artistic content of the galleries selected by the Organising Committee and the curatorial teams of the different sections.

The main section of the Fair, the General Programme, was made up of national and international galleries whose artistic proposals ratified their commitment to quality content. In addition, ARCOlisboa promoted its two main curated sections. As formas do Oceano (The Shapes of the Ocean), curated by Paula Nascimento and Igor Simões, featured projects that focused on relations between Africa and the African diaspora and other latitudes. On the other hand, the OPENING section, curated by Chus Martínez and Luiza Teixeira de Freitas, explored new artistic languages and spaces in order to bring new content and research to the fair.

ARCOlisboa 2024 opened its doors on 23 May, with the first day dedicated to professionals, after which it opened to the public.
