From 18 to 22 September 2024, the Maison de l'Amérique Latine, located in the heart of the 7th arrondissement of Paris, will host this exceptional event which promises to captivate art lovers, collectors and the curious, united around their love for the arts of Latin America and the Latin American diaspora, offering a unique platform for these talents often under-represented in Europe.

Among the participating galleries, we find prestigious names such as El Apartamento, a famous Spanish brand, Proyectos Monclova which represents Mexico or the Galleria Continua radiating all over the world, from Beijing to Rome, from São Paulo to Paris or Dubai. The Parisian galleries 193 Gallery, Romero Paprocki, Olivier Waltman, Christian Berst Art Brut and Baq will join the party alongside other little-known discoveries in France such as the Colombian Galería Elvira Moreno, the Wizard Gallery (Milan-London) or Revolver ( Lima-Buenos Aires-New-York), creating a harmonious mix of galleries from Latin America and Europe.
