The 2026 ART.PE Art Fair has commenced in Recife, Brazil, spanning from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 October. This year, the fair has expanded its exhibition space, doubling from 2,500 square metres in 2025 to 5,000 square metres in 2026. Visitors can explore 75 exhibitors, including 55 Brazilian galleries and two international participants from Argentina and Portugal, all gathered under one roof in the Recife Expo Center.
The fair, organized by the Feira de Arte Contemporânea de Pernambuco, offers a unique opportunity for foreigners to experience the Brazilian art market outside the usual São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro circuits. For a more relaxed northeastern setting, attendees can meet gallerists and artists, with gallery presentations, talks, and food areas throughout the event.
Tickets are sold through Sympla, with advance lot sales beginning on Wednesday, 14 October, for invited guests only. Public days are priced at R$50 (approximately US$10) for full admission and R$25 (approximately US$5) for half-price admission, which typically applies to students, seniors, and people with disabilities. The Recife Expo Center, located at Cais Santa Rita, 156, in the São José district, is open from 13:00 to 21:00 on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, closing at 20:30 according to Sympla listings. On Sunday, the venue opens from 12:00 to 19:00, with the last entry hour before closing.
