Ch.ACO-16 Fair: Chile's most important art event is approaching

From March 25 to 29, Feria Ch.ACO-16 will take place at Metropolitan Santiago.

A fair to explore, observe, converse, and be amazed.

Metropolitan Santiago (5600 San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer Avenue, Vitacura).

Come and experience Chile's most important contemporary art event. At Feria Ch.ACO-16, you can visit galleries from 11 countries, discover and purchase works—from emerging artists to established names—and enjoy a fair that is also a journey through the country, with exhibitors from six regions of Chile and an international presence that broadens the perspective, expecting 20,000 visitors.

The program includes talks, performances, and a dining experience with a bar and restaurant, as well as spaces designed for taking a break and continuing on: Kross Garden, restaurant, Milk lounge, and, during the weekend, a Kids Zone, making the fair a family-friendly, full-day event.

You live in motion: you start in one gallery, move on to another, come across a performance, stay for a discussion, stop by the bar to comment on what you've just seen, and return straight to that gallery that captivated you. Different ways to experience the fair without losing your momentum: a complete plan for viewing, talking, discovering, and buying.

A historic edition in figures

Ch.ACO-16 is the largest edition in its history, with 5,500 m² of exhibition space and more than 50 exhibitors from 11 countries: Canada, the United States, England, France, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile (with six regions represented).

Something for the whole family: every day is different

The visit is designed as a leisurely tour—arrive, stroll, look, stop, look again, and shop—and also as a complete plan: talks, guided tours by Fintual, performances, musical sunsets in our Kross Garden, a dining area (coffee & salad, famous bar, and restaurant), and spaces to take real breaks.

During the weekend, the Kids Zone will be open so that families can take turns and come back together. And Sunday, the 29th, will feature a special highlight of the fair: Gnocchi Day, the perfect way to end the week with a cultural and gastronomic event, without rushing. Don't miss out.
