But what makes ARTBO | Feria so special? Every year and for four days, galleries, curators, artists, and art enthusiasts from Colombia and abroad gather in Bogota. The event has become one of the most important and daring cultural platforms in Latin America.

Each year, it offers a special space for national and international art cultural agents to share their works.
