The First Chicago Latin American Art Fair – Chicago ARTEahora
– is an interna-tional art fair celebrating the important
role Latin American Art currently plays in the international
art arena. Chicago ARTEahora will concentrate on modern and
contemporary Latin American Art, its history, progress and the
cross-cultural impact it has around the world.
The vision of the Chicago ARTEahora is to become one of the
most important and cre-ative international art show that combines
diversity, creativity and the integrity of Latin American Art
with stirring cultural events, special exhibitions, education-al
programs, and crossover events including music, film, theater,
fashion, archi-tecture and design, and all the fun and the facilities
the City of Chicago has to offer as one of the most sophisticated
and cultural cities in the world.
Chicago ARTEahora will host an exclusive selection of works
by both well-known and established 20th and 21st century artists,
cutting-edge newcomers, as well as the self-taught. The show
will be a vital source for art collectors, artists, dealers,
curators, crit-ics and art enthusiasts from around the world
to find the new developments in Latin American Art.
The River East Art Center is the perfect Chicago venue to give
rise to stunning works of importance – masterpieces to
be discovered and cherished by local residents. As a neighborhood
resource, it will bring sophisticated Chicago resi-dents and
artists together, and forward, into a new age of growth, expression
and appreciation of life, for each individual, and for the community
as a whole.
