The 6th edition of the International Art Fair of Rio de Janeiro will take place between September 29 and October 2 with a special opening for VIP guests on September 28 at Pier Mauá within Rio's port area, which has just been through an important urban revitalization, with the constructions of two new museums: Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) and Museu do Amanhã.

In 2015 we received over 50,000 visitors including collectors, curators, artists and the general public. The fair brought together more than 80 important galleries from Brazil and abroad, in addition to different curatorial projects that reinforce its role as one of the most relevant art events in Latin America. In 2016, the fair will take place alongside the 32nd Biennial of São Paulo. This will reinforce the large flow of international visitors interested in exploring the Brazilian art scene. For this occasion we will have a strong exclusive VIP program that includes cocktails in private collections, visits to artist studios, exhibition openings, special guided tours to the local museums and lectures. All of this will happen in the year of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, while the city goes through an intense urban and cultural transformation.

PANORAMA
Program for established galleries in the international art circuit of Modern and Contemporary Art.

VISTA
Program for young galleries, less than 10 years old, featuring new works of up to three artists and curatorial projects.
