On August 24 and 25, marking 11 years since its creation, the largest visual art fair in the country, Art Stgo, will once again open its doors at the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center (GAM) in Santiago, with the aim of bringing thousands of works by national artists to the public, completely free of charge.
On this occasion, Art Stgo 2024 will feature the presence of 165 artists at the in-person event and 220 artists on its digital platform www.artstgo.cl who will be showcasing their art, in an exhibition that will have more than 3,000 works.
“Art Stgo is a meeting place that kindly invites all kinds of public. We want to take advantage of this democratic space to generate innovative and virtuous experiences that generate a positive impact and promote a better environment for all those who attend and participate in it,” says Rodrigo Latorre, General Director of Art Stgo and Executive Director of Kráneo.
She added that “we are aware of the platform we have achieved and we want to enhance the legacy of our fair, generating opportunities with the community, exploiting the potential of art as a transformative agent, educator and promoter of sustainable development.”
For her part, Nicole Andreu, curator of Art Stgo, said: “Art Stgo is a platform for networking between artists, collectors, gallery owners, and those interested in art in general. It is an opportunity to introduce new artists and proposals. What we seek is to generate connections and give visibility to artists who are just starting out or want to show their most recent projects. After 11 years we have been able to see how exhibitions are taking place, collectives are being created, and new projects and sales are being generated to important collections that are a contribution to contribute to the national visual arts scene.”
“The important thing is to create a meeting in a historic space and place like the GAM. Art Stgo is a celebration of art.”
Over the past 10 years, Art Stgo has established itself as the most important open visual arts fair in the country, where hundreds of artists have participated, exhibiting more than 20 thousand works.
