What is Art Expo Algarve?
Art Expo Algarve is an international contemporary and modern art fair that seeks to create a direct connection between artists, galleries, industry professionals, collectors, and the public.
The 2026 edition brings together participants of different nationalities and presents selected works in a space designed for discovering new artistic proposals and meeting the people behind the works in person.
What can you find?
Throughout FISSUL, galleries, collectives, and independent artists will be represented, featuring different languages and approaches to contemporary art.
In addition to viewing the works, visitors can interact directly with artists and exhibitors and find pieces available for purchase.
Why Silves?
Known primarily for its historical heritage, Silves also presents a growing connection to culture and artistic creation. The choice of FISSUL allows for an international fair with both Portuguese and foreign audiences to be concentrated in a single space.
The event thus adds another cultural experience to the Algarve's autumn program, showcasing a region that goes far beyond its beaches.
