Pinta is a leading platform for the promotion of Latin American art. Each year, it brings together artists, galleries, curators, collectors, and art enthusiasts through its three contemporary art fairs: Pinta Lima, Pinta BAphoto, and Pinta Miami.
In addition, Pinta develops the Pinta Art Weeks, specially curated cultural programs carried out in collaboration with museums, art galleries, and artistic initiatives across the city. Following four consecutive editions of Pinta Asunción Art Week, in 2026 Pinta celebrated the second edition of Pinta Panama Art Week and launches the first editions of Pinta Santo Domingo Art Week, further consolidating its presence in emerging cultural hubs across Latin America.
Pinta is supported by its publishing arm, Arte al Día International—founded in 1980—which also leads the Gallery program, an art circuit with more than 25 years of experience fostering encounters between the public and contemporary art.
Las actividades centrales de la feria, como los conversatorios FORO, visita guiadas, premiaciones y otros encuentros, tienen lugar en Casa Prado. Durante la semana de Pinta Lima, esta programación se expande hacia la ciudad con recorridos por galerías y una agenda especial que propone un acercamiento al circuito artístico local.
The fair’s Main Section is composed of a carefully curated selection of galleries from different cities around the world, chosen for the quality and innovation of their proposals, highlighting the diversity and excellence of Latin American artistic production.
Porous Systems brings together artistic practices that operate through permeability and process rather than fixed positions. The section focuses on artworks that absorb and transform their surroundings, moving across material, emotional, ecological, and technological registers.
The NEXT section continues to focus on young galleries and emerging artists. Moving away from the rhetoric of “discovery,” NEXT proposes a critical reading of the “emerging” as a category, delving into both the working structures of the galleries themselves and the practices of their artists.
Fundación Pinta, the Henrique Faría Gallery, and the Estate of Carlos Runcie Tanaka present the Special Project dedicated to Carlos Runcie Tanaka (Lima, 1958–2025), an artist whose explorations in ceramics—engaging with pre-Hispanic traditions and the language of installation—stand as a fundamental reference in the history of Peruvian and Latin American art.
This year’s focus is on emerging talent and experimentation. The space—traditionally dedicated to tributes and exhibitions by established artists—is transformed to spotlight emerging artists selected from participating galleries. The curators, Florencia Portocarrero and Irene Gelfman, aim to present a fresh proposal that reflects new perspectives and contemporary practices within the fair.
This edition of the Video Project brings together seven works by three Latin American artists who, through video art, examine the roles and stereotypes constructed by the apparatus of mass media, popular culture, and systems of power and inequality. They reveal how the place and role assigned to women, immigrants, and the idea of Peruvian identity are far from neutral.
This year, Pinta Lima brings together more than 40 leading art galleries, featured across the Main, NEXT, and RADAR sections, along with special projects such as Video Project, Sculpture Garden, and Special Projects.
Every day during Pinta Lima, special tours are offered to explore the fair and its worlds through the eyes of its curators and artists.
This new edition of the FORO examines the state of Latin American art scenes through the voices of art professionals from Mexico
Each year, Pinta Lima strengthens its program with distinguished curators to position modern and contemporary Latin American art on the global stage.
Pinta Lima promotes a series of awards and acquisitions that recognize the excellence and commitment of artists and galleries to contemporary practices. These initiatives aim not only to highlight outstanding works and projects within the fair, but also to create concrete opportunities for visibility, circulation, and international projection. They also acknowledge curatorial quality and stand presentation, valuing the integral work of participating galleries.
Book Vivant, the specialty store that brings together the best of the good life—books & wine—presents a special program featuring three literary tastings and book presentations that blend encounters of art, poetry, and prose.
Make the most of your visit to Pinta Lima by immersing yourself in local culture. Explore our recommendations for cultural institutions, accommodation, and the best of Peruvian gastronomy.

“Territory of Paper” brings together six Peruvian artists from the Generation of the 80s, born between 1955 and 1961, who have explored paper in innovative and profound ways. These artists, trained in countries such as France, Italy, China, and the United States, have developed their own unique language, characterized by subtlety and expressiveness. Their works, which range from painting to printmaking and photography, invite us to reflect on the coexistence of paper and the digital world.
