Its artistic offer will show the world the vibrant art scene in Portugal in dialogue with interesting proposals from around the world. The General Programme, made up of galleries selected by the Organising Committee, will once again form the backbone of the fair defined by the quality of its contents. Additionally, there will be the curated programmes: the successful Opening section, set to grow this year with the participation of a higher number of galleries selected by Kunsthalle Lissabon, that will contribute new artists and scenes, and Africa em Foco, again curated by Paula Nascimento, proposing seductive artistic discoveries for collectors and lovers of African art.
