The art scene in Buenos Aires is booming with breakout graffiti artists, intriguing performers, well tested masters, and provocative contemporaries. There are gallery nights, art fairs, and street vendors all ready to show you their best work.

With so much activity, you may wonder where to start. The Mapas de Las Artes is a great place. Both a print magazine and interactive website (both in Spanish), Mapas de Las Artes can guide you to the best clusters of galleries or even those farther afield.


The website is intuitive enough that even a non-Spanish speaker can find what they're after.
