Program

From 28 to 31 May 2026, we’ll travel to Lisbon for ARCO Lisboa, the Portuguese edition of the renowned ARCO art fair. The fair takes place in the historic Cordoaria Nacional, where a range of international galleries present contemporary art with a strong focus on Portugal, Southern Europe, and the African diaspora. Over the past years, ARCO Lisboa has evolved into a dynamic fair and a fixture on the European art calendar. During our visit, we’ll not only explore the fair but also dive into Lisbon’s vibrant art scene — from tours of the city’s leading galleries to behind-the-scenes visits to artists’ studios.

One of the highlights of our four-day trip is a day excursion to Quinta do Quetzal, a contemporary art center and winery in the Alentejo region. This unique place was founded by Dutch collectors Cees and Inge de Bruin, whose extensive private collection of contemporary art forms the starting point for each exhibition at the Quetzal Art Center. Expect an inspiring combination of contemporary art, architecture, and nature. The program includes a group dinner and a welcome drink at special locations at the heart of Portugal’s art scene.
