The Bogotá International Art Fair, which celebrated its 20th anniversary, is coming to an end. On this occasion, various national and international galleries were presented with innovative proposals, some with a long history and others emerging.
This year, ArtBo has paid tribute to the life and work of David Manzur, with an exhibition of his most recent works referring to his artistic evolution and the impact of his work on the cultural scene.
This tribute not only aims to recognize Manzur's contribution to culture, but also to inspire new generations through his example and artistic legacy.
According to El Espectador, the ArtBo edition has several outstanding sections, each curated by experts in the field of art. Referentes has been curated by Pablo León de La Barra, Curator of Latin American Art at the Guggenheim New York, and María Wills, former director of the Arts and Other Collections Unit at the Banco de la República de Colombia. The Proyectos section is curated by Juan Canela, chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama. Encuentros has been curated by Benedicta Badía, collector and patron of Latin American Circles of international museums. The Artecámara section has been organized by researcher and curator Ximena Gama, while the Artist's Book section is in charge of Relámpago.

A fair that enriches culture

The Bogotá International Art Fair (ArtBo) plays a fundamental role in the social, cultural and economic development of the capital of the national territory. In the social sphere, this event facilitates the interaction of citizens with contemporary art and provides access to artistic proposals from different parts of the world, promoting greater cultural sensitivity and reinforcing the idea of art as an essential component for personal and collective growth.
In addition, this is one of the fairs that encourages the inclusion of young talents by offering a platform for emerging artists to present their works, which contributes to democratizing access to art and generating new opportunities for their development in the professional field.

In the economic sphere, ArtBo has a relevant impact on each of the creative sectors of Bogotá. In addition, the fair attracts national and international galleries, becoming a space for commercial exchange that benefits artists, curators and gallery owners, stimulating the art market in Colombia. On the other hand, it promotes cultural tourism, which generates income for the city in sectors such as hotels, gastronomy and transport.
