Ch.ACO is an annual event that connects artists, galleries, collectors, and cultural institutions. International contemporary art fairs function as spaces for circulation and dialogue, strengthening ties between global circuits and Latin American scenes.
The fair seeks to strengthen the Chilean art market and offer visibility to emerging and established artists, creating opportunities for collaboration and circulation both within and outside the country.
Its endemic focus highlights the cultural and geographical contexts of Chile, exhibiting works that reflect desert landscapes, urban environments, and southern territories, making contemporary identities and issues visible.
The text reads, “Latin American artists were prominent at the 45th edition of ARCOmadrid, one of Europe’s most important contemporary art fairs. In addition to 11 galleries from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico.”
The exhibition includes award and acquisition programs, integrating works into public and private collections, which broadens its international reach and strengthens relationships with museums and collections.
Under the curatorial concept ‘Improbable Encounters,’ Ch.ACO 2026 will bring together more than 50 exhibitors under a broad acquisition award program, which will recognize meaningful art pieces.
The fair will take place from March 25 to 29, 2026, at Metropolitan Santiago, Vitacura, with 5,500 square meters of exhibition space, hours from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and closing on Sunday at 8:00 p.m.
