For its 26th edition, arteBA, Buenos Aires’s international contemporary art fair—which will take place from May 24 through 27, 2017 at the convention center La Rural—invites art galleries to apply through the online platform to take part either in the Main Section (with a standard form or Special Project) or in the section Barrio Joven for emerging artists and galleries and alternative spaces.
In 2016 the arteBA fair, one of the most important in Latin America, celebrated its 25th anniversary edition with over 400 artists represented by 85 galleries from 16 countries, a record of 23 museums and corporations that purchased a total of 53 works to add to their collections; over 300 invited collectors and international professionals, and over 80,000 visitors.

Main Section
Application deadline: Friday, October 28, 2016
An independent Selection Committee comprising Ana María Battistozzi (art critic and independent curator, Buenos Aires), Orly Benzacar (gallerist of Galería Ruth Benzacar, Buenos Aires), Eduardo Brandão (gallerist of Vermelho, São Paulo), Ignacio Liprandi (gallerist of Ignacio Liprandi Arte Contemporáneo, Buenos Aires) and Sabine Schmidt (gallerist of PSM, Berlin) will evaluate galleries’ proposals and choose the participants in arteBA 2017.
All the galleries that apply for the main section may opt either for the standard form or to be included as a Special Project, i.e. a project that presents up to three artists with a curatorial emphasis.
A different consulting committee than the Selection Committee will oversee the choice of the Cabinet, a section highlighted within the space of each gallery, in which one work or various works by a single artist may be on view. The aim of the Cabinet is to highlight relevant, singular and emblematic works of modern and contemporary artists within the Main Section. With this offering, arteBA presents institutions and public or private collections with works to suit their needs and interests.

Barrio Joven
Application deadline: Monday, November 14, 2016
Barrio Joven is a platform for galleries and new or alternative spaces for showing and selling contemporary art to present emerging and not yet established Latin American artists at the fair.
The proposals will be selected by a Curatorial Team which will then follow up on each of the projects selected to take part in arteBA . 2017.
Special attention will be paid to those proposals conceived with a curatorial concept and which distinguish themselves, either through their originality, adventurousness or experimental nature, in proposing some new format for presenting works in the space of a fair.
