The seventh Biennial International Art expo, SIART, takes place from October 12^th through November 12^th. This event has been held in La Paz since 1999 when the city was named the International Cultural Capital.

As usual, artists from different countries attend this exposition to exhibit their work in different halls throughout the city. The group selected by the panel of judges as finalists for the National Young Artist Prize, which is part of SIART, this year were among the exhibitors with the theme of Dialogues in Complexity.

Different activities like workshops, seminars, round tables, meetings with artists and laboratories take place at the same time to motivate attendees to interact with the exhibitors and their works. This is also a way to find new customers with new visions of art.

This year’s SIART exhibited different types of art, including photography, painting, collage, video, installations, urban interventions, performances and scenic presentations.
