ARTRIO 2023
13th Edition of the Rio de Janeiro Art Fair
Founded in 2011, ArtRio is recognized as one of the most important events on the arts calendar. The 13th edition of the Rio de Janeiro Art Fair takes place from September 13th to 17th at Marina da Glória, bringing more content to a 25% larger space than the previous year.
Following the global trend of discussion and action focused on sustainability and awareness, the fair will also feature a series of initiatives aimed at reducing its impact.
Since its first edition, the fair has promoted a calendar of activities throughout the year, bringing knowledge and contact with art to different audiences, both by encouraging visits to museums, galleries, and institutions and by holding educational and cultural activities in various spaces. With this in mind, ArtRio stimulates the market and its agents, promotes debates, encourages collecting, and fosters audience development.
“We arrived in 2023 looking to the future – and what we hope for our society and our planet. Through art and our actions, we want to effectively and effectively participate in the changes and new attitudes that will be necessary. Artistic movements have always played an important role as drivers of change and as a unifier, and I understand that ArtRio has an important role in bringing visibility to these issues,” says Brenda Valansi, president of ArtRio.
The organization has already confirmed more than 100 guest collectors and curators from outside Rio de Janeiro who will be present at the fair, including visitors from countries such as the United States, Panama, Switzerland, Paraguay, Spain, Peru, Denmark, France, Turkey, Belgium, and Italy. The program also includes visits to museums and institutions, galleries, studios, and private collections.
The ArtRio 2023 Curatorial Committee, responsible for selecting the galleries participating in the VISTA and PANORAMA programs, was formed by gallery owners Alexandre Roesler (Galeria Nara Roesler), Antonia Bergamin (Galeria Galatea), Filipe Masini and Eduardo Masini (Galeria Athena), Gustavo Rebello (Gustavo Rebello Arte), and Juliana Cintra (Silvia Cintra + Box 4). The galleries participating in the SOLO program were invited by the project's curator, Ademar Britto.
On the first day of the fair, the winners of the FOCO Award will be announced. ArtRio 2023 will also feature the SOLO program, with galleries showcasing projects developed by a single artist, and EXPANSÃO, which is dedicated to promoting and supporting institutions that develop work using art for social inclusion.
