The fair’s MAIN SECTION will present a wide range of more than 42 galleries with great local and international experience.

The SOLO PROJECT section, for its part, includes the exhibition of six artists represented by their respective galleries.

As a political scientist, artist, curator and researcher, Roldán maintains a fundamentally social axis when it comes to contemporary art. The artists and galleries exhibiting in this section are: Raúl Silva (CRISIS Gallery - Peru), Ana González (La Cometa – Colombia / Spain), Augusto Ballardo (NOW – Peru), Dagoberto Rodriguez (Piero Atchugarry Gallery – United States / Uruguay) and Hernán Salvo (Sasha D art space – Argentina).

Curated by Florencia Portocarrero, the NEXT section brings together 7 galleries that are committed to making the work of young and/or emerging artists visible. In this way, the objective is set on the revitalization of the urban scenes of Latin America in which the exhibited artistic production is registered, such as Buenos Aires, Lima, Cholula, Rosario, Quito and Santiago. After two years of withdrawal due to the pandemic, in this edition of NEXT the featured artists return to manual work and invite the viewers to immerse themselves in long-term projects. The participating galleries are: +Arte (Ecuador), Constitución (Argentina), Galería del Paseo (Peru), Art Base Platform (Mexico), Subsuelo (Argentina), Vigil Gonzales (Peru) and NAC (Chile).
As a novelty, this year Pinta PArC is proud to present a new space with a leading role marked by textile art. Institutionally and with the curatorship of Jerson Ramirez, the aim is to recover, highlight and celebrate the traditional techniques and artistic work of the region. The space is thus dedicated to the exploration of memory, the transmission of cultural values and the examination of the processes and formats that are interwoven in the Peruvian artistic identity.

In accordance to the cultural commitment of Pinta PArC and EFG Wealth Management (Pinta's Main Sponsor), the most relevant artistic institutions in Lima will offer exhibitions in special agreement with the fair.
