葡萄牙里斯本国际当代艺术博览会（ARCO Lisboa / ARCO Lisbon）是葡萄牙最大、策划活动最为丰富的艺术界盛会之一，该展从2016年开始，每年一届，在里斯本国家美术馆举行。作为马德里国际当代艺术博览会（ARCO Madrid）分展。每年在这一艺术展上，来自世界各地的艺术家和画廊都将带来极具先锋性和实验性的艺术作品，为人们奉上一场视觉盛宴。
ARCO Lisboa 2024将把葡萄牙首都变成世界各地收藏家、画廊老板、艺术家和专业人士的聚会场所。在5月23日至26日的第七届国家美术馆中，国家美术馆将展出组委会和不同部门的策展团队挑选的画廊的艺术内容。
ARCO的主要焦点，即总计划，将由国家和国际画廊组成，他们的艺术提案将批准他们对优质内容的承诺。此外，ARCO Lisboa将推广其两个主要策划部分：由Paula Nascimento和Igor Simões策划的As formas do Oceano（海洋的形状），其中将重点关注非洲与非洲侨民和其他纬度地区之间的关系。另一方面，由Chus Martínez和Luiza Teixeira de Freitas策划的开幕部分将探索新的艺术语言和空间，为博览会带来新的内容和研究。
ARCO Lisboa2024将于5月23日开门，第一天专门面向专业人士观赏，之后将向公众开放。来自南非、安哥拉、乌干达、莫桑比克等非洲国家艺术家的作品多次参展，闪耀着非洲元素的这些艺术作品吸引了众多参观者的目光。
ARCO Lisboa举办了两个策划的项目，涉及对非洲领土及其侨民的研究，以及对当代艺术创作和新项目发现的思考。吸引了来自巴西、西班牙、德国、美国、葡萄牙等几十个国家的近百个艺术工作室参展。

展会报告(Show Reports):
ARCOlisboa, which once again received the support of the Government of Portugal, was honoured by a visit from the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, and featured the participation of the Minister of Culture, Dalila Rodrigues, and the Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas at the opening ceremony. The fair estimates to have exceeded 14,000 visitors, including a significant presence of young attendees. This turnout was boosted by an initiative from the Ministry of Culture, which provided free admission to those under 25 on Friday and Saturday. A measure that has helped bring contemporary art closer to younger generations and reinforce ARCOlisboa's commitment to developing new cultural audiences.
The International Contemporary Art Fair brought together a total of 83 galleries from 17 countries, once again turning the Portuguese capital into one of the most attractive artistic and cultural hubs in Europe and a meeting place for collectors, artists and gallery owners from all over the world. According to Maribel López, director of ARCOlisboa, "the appeal of the artistic proposals presented by the participating galleries, together with the dynamic cultural programme offered by the city's public and private institutions, has been key to attracting prominent collectors and professionals on a global scale".
Held in the iconic Cordoaria Nacional venue, ARCOlisboa has established itself as the leading international contemporary art event in Portugal, playing a fundamental role in boosting the international visibility of Portuguese artists among institutions and the more than 150 guests invited to the fair; collectors, directors of institutions, curators and other international art world professionals.
ARCOlisboa will thus close on a good note. Acquisitions have been confirmed since the first day, such as those of the Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, which purchased a total of 14 works by 7 artists: Gabriela Albergaria, Ana Jotta, Carla Filipe, Mónica de Miranda, Maria Condado, João Maria Gusmão, Jonathan Saldanha.
The ARCO Foundation also made acquisitions, advised by Tania Pardo and Sandra Guimarães, purchasing works by artists Carla Filipe (Jahn Und Jahn gallery), Marina González (Rosa Santos), and Nana Mandl (Kandlhofer). These works will become part of the ARCO Foundation Collection, housed at CA2M – Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo Museum of the Community of Madrid. Awards at ARCOlisboa
