Emerging Practices and New Languages: This is How Pinta Lima 2026 is Shaped

Pinta Lima has announced the details for its 13th edition, scheduled to take place from April 23 to 26, 2026, at Casa Prado. Under the artistic direction of Irene Gelfman, the fair will feature 45 galleries from 15 international cities, with nearly 70% of participants arriving from outside Peru. The event is structured into five specialized sections, including the Main Section, RADAR (curated by Ilaria Conti), NEXT (curated by Juan Canela), and dedicated spaces for video and special projects.

The 2026 edition signals a significant maturation of the Peruvian art market, with organizers projecting an 18,000-person attendance and a 20% growth in scale. Notably, the fair is strengthening institutional ties through a new acquisition fund partnership between Fundación Pinta and the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI). By combining commercial sections with the FORO debate program featuring over 30 international professionals, Pinta Lima continues to position itself as a vital bridge between Latin American regional practices and the global contemporary art circuit.
