Bada 2026 Sets Artist-First Fair and Auction for Feb. 5–8 in Mexico City

The fair uses direct sales plus a no-commission auction to cultivate first-time Mexican collectors.

Overview

  • Bada’s sixth Mexico City edition will host 200 artists at Campo Marte from February 5 to 8, with creators selling directly to visitors.
  • At a press conference, organizers said the Gran Subasta de Arte is planned for February 7 with a 1,000‑peso participation cost for up to 200 bidders, about 50 lots, and all proceeds going to the artists.
  • Coverage also reports a conflicting auction plan listing February 6 and a 1,500‑peso fee, a discrepancy not uniformly clarified in the published accounts.
  • Accessibility measures include each artist offering 10 works priced at 2,500 pesos, and general entry tickets listed between 250 and 300 pesos.
  • Programming emphasizes inclusion and World Cup themes, featuring invited photographer Lourdes Almeida, a tribute to 100‑year‑old Juan Manuel Guillén, social-impact partners, an ‘Arte y futbol’ exhibition with Banco Azteca, and a roaming fashion performance by the Instituto de Moda de México.
