Mexico City reclaims its place as one of the most dynamic cultural capitals in the world. From February 4–8, 2026, Art Week transforms the city into a living platform for contemporary art, collectible design, architecture and visual culture—spilling far beyond traditional fairgrounds.

Art Week Mexico is not just about exhibitions; it’s about how the city becomes part of the artwork.

A global meeting point for contemporary creativity

Each year, Art Week attracts collectors, curators, designers and creatives from around the world. The 2026 edition reinforces Mexico’s role as a cultural bridge between Latin America and the global art scene, spotlighting emerging voices while amplifying established practices.
