Pinta Lima is the official contemporary art fair in Peru. With eleven years of experience, it stands out for its experimental and ambitious programming as well as for its careful selection of galleries. Pinta Lima is the most attractive international cultural event in the region showcasing the essence of Peru whilst intertwining its historical richness with the most current influences of contemporary art.
Pinta Lima at Casa Prado
For the past four years, Pinta Lima is located in Casa Prado, an emblematic building in the heart of Miraflores which dates back to the eighteenth century. This heritage building is a true monument to Peruvian tradition, preserving particularly attractive architectural and artistic elements. Hosting Pinta Lima at Casa Prado means reaffirming the appreciation and promotion of this cultural heritage, while seeking to revitalize the pre-existing by introducing contemporary languages into a unique heritage framework.
Pinta Lima is part of Pinta, the largest platform committed to Latin American art, organizing three international art fairs, the editorial Arte Al Día and iniatiives such as Pinta Sud among other events and special programming.

Artist: Jorge Eduardo Eielson
As part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jorge Eduardo Eielson (Lima, 1924 - Milan, 2006), Pinta PArC hosted a special section dedicated to the artist, curated by Sharon Lerner. The exhibit featured works from both public and private collections from the 1980s and highlighted the lesser-known aspects of the artist’s production.
The Main Section of the fair is comprised of a meticulously selected group of galleries from various cities around the world, chosen for the quality and innovation of their offerings. In this edition, more than 200 artists from the region participated, strengthening the commitment to showcase the diversity and excellence of Latin American artistic production.
The RADAR Section aims to highlight a set of artistic productions that, through various languages and media, focus on art's ability to re-educate our perception regarding our environment, raise awareness about the care of natural resources, and prioritize ancestral practices and knowledge in the face of the imminent habitability crisis of our planet.
NEXT is an innovative platform that allows fair attendees to discover the latest art from Latin America. In this edition, the section brought together six galleries that committed to emerging artists engaged with their contexts and the artistic experimentation of the region.
Special Project encourages the realization of site-specific projects that can co-exist with the architecture of Casa Prado's hall, which, due to its stylistic and spatial characteristics, allows artists to delve into different artistic languages and formats.
Video Project is the cross-sectional section at all Pinta fairs that focuses exclusively on innovative and immersive proposals that work with moving images. In this edition, galleries were invited to present projects revolving around the following themes: ancestral practices, community work, the Amazon, and nature. During the fair, the selected projects were exhibited.
The Sculpture Garden is conceived as a space that explores the relationships between sculpture, architecture, and green areas. As an outdoor section, it enables an imaginative and playful dialogue between the artistic proposals and the physical characteristics of the location.
Each year, Pinta PArC strengthens its program with distinguished curators to position modern and contemporary Latin American art on the global stage.
This series of conversations addresses current debates relevant to the creation ecosystems in Latin America. From the perspectives of visual arts, curatorial practice, collecting, and art history research, meetings are held to discuss ongoing themes and issues in contemporary contexts.
Every day at Pinta PArC, special tours are offered that invite attendees to explore the fair and its various universes through the perspectives of its curators and artists.
Year after year, the Pinta PArC fair features a program of awards and acquisitions aimed at supporting artistic practice and encouraging collecting, while also emphasizing the importance of Pinta PArC as a crucial meeting point for the international art community. At Pinta PArC, art is not only displayed but also recognized, celebrated, and promoted into the future.
