NODO turns Buenos Aires into a three-day contemporary art circuit

More than 65 contemporary art galleries will open their doors to the public this weekend for NODO, a three-day citywide art circuit running from June 4 through June 6. The event, which offers free admission, features a diverse range of exhibitions across seven major neighborhoods from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

Aimed at promoting Argentine art galleries and fostering new audiences, NODO invites local and international curators and collectors, also matching galleries from Argentine provinces with Buenos Aires art spaces to host them so they can showcase their own curated selections.
