During three days, a huge number of people crowded into the Costa Salguero venue to enjoy arteba, the traditional artistic meeting that brought together the main artists, gallery owners, collectors and referents of the country's culture.

With the strong commitment to hold the meeting in Costa Salguero for the first time, arteba had more than 400 artists represented by 71 galleries and projects that exhibited their works in the Main Section, Stage and Utopia, the three spaces that this year shaped it.

According to what was stated by Larisa Andreani, president of the Arteba Foundation, “The work of the artists sold very well thanks to the work and dedication of the galleries that presented them”. Likewise, the directive maintained that “the museums and collectors accompanied us with excellent acquisitions for their collections and contributed dynamism. Also new buyers were encouraged to get hold of first works”.

It should be noted that on this occasion and for the first time, as part of the Coexistence Program, the fair opened an hour earlier for deaf people, with motor disability, intellectual and visual can go through it in conditions according to their needs.
