With 203 exhibitors, the fair will occupy nearly all areas of the GAM (Gallery of Art Museum), offering a wide range of artistic expressions. Activities include workshops for both children and adults, ranging from watercolor and manga to collage, along with cultural talks and even a cocktail-making course.

In the realm of visual arts, Chilean painter Paula Valenzuela Antúnez will present her large-scale abstract works titled ¿Qué sueña la muerte? These pieces explore themes of material transformation and the boundaries of language through intense color contrasts and forms that seem to transition between different states of matter. Her exhibition runs until October at the Galería CIMA, situated on the 11th floor of Merced 22 in Santiago. The gallery will be open from 4 PM to 8 PM on Saturday, with free admission available through the website market.galeriacima.cl. Also on Saturday, the film Sábado, directed by Matías Bize, will screen at the Centro Arte Alameda, located at Arturo Prat 33 in Santiago.

On Sunday, renowned musician Gustavo Santaolalla will conduct a masterclass at Teatro CA660, located at Rosario Norte 660 in Las Condes.
