ARTBO, Latin America’s premier art extravaganza packs a punch at Bogotá’s exhibition centre, Corferias this month. With 67 galleries, work from 17 countries and a thriving fringe scene all over the city, it’s a good time to immerse yourself in art.
Every year since 2004, ARTBO has put art front and centre in a celebration of the country’s artists, creativity and imaginative expression. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given its growth and popularity, it has spawned a host of related events – both its own (like ARTBO weekend) and a plethora of other independent art events such as Barcú, Feria del Millón and Odeón. All of them play a part in the city’s annual artistic carnival.
