What Makes this event different?
IMMORTAL isn’t just another art fair with booths, white walls, and transactional energy. It’s designed to break the mold in several ways: 1. Time & Place. It happens in Mexico City during Día de Muertos, a holiday when the entire city becomes an artwork of memory and ritual. Instead of competing with a generic art market calendar (Basel, Frieze, etc.), IMMORTAL plugs into one of the most spiritually and culturally powerful events in the world. The setting gives queer art a stage that’s about endurance, remembrance, and joy in defiance of death. 2. Queer-Forward, Not Queer-Friendly. Lots of fairs include queer artists. IMMORTAL is built by and for them. The framing isn’t “inclusion,” it’s queerness as the core logic: porous categories, hybrid practices, chosen families, and refusal of erasure. The fair doesn’t tuck queer artists into a corner—it centers them. 3. Collective Model. It’s powered by The Bureau of Queer Art (TBQA), which is structured around collaboration, resource-sharing, and mutual support. Instead of competing booths, artists help one another with housing, shipping, and cross-promotion. That solidarity is part of the art itself. 4. Hybrid Reach. Every artist is shown physically in Mexico City and digitally on Artsy.net, meaning local visibility is amplified by global sales reach. IMMORTAL collapses the false divide between IRL spectacle and online circulation. 5. Editorial Depth. Through TBQA’s print and digital magazine, artists aren’t just exhibitors—they’re also documented, interviewed, and contextualized. Their work is given intellectual and critical visibility, not just transactional space. 6. Immersive Atmosphere. The fair folds in performance, sound, installation, and ritual. It’s not just rows of art—it’s an environment, an ofrenda (altar) to queer survival and transformation. Visitors don’t just shop, they experience. So what makes IMMORTAL different? It’s an art fair that behaves more like a living organism: porous, collaborative, rooted in ritual, and unafraid of excess. It insists that queer art is not seasonal or fashionable—it’s eternal. Would you like me to phrase this difference in a way that’s collector-facing (why it’s valuable to attend/buy) or artist-facing (why it’s vital to apply and show)?
Welcome to the IMMORTAL Art Fair
Where queer art lives, breathes, and refuses to be forgotten.
IMMORTAL is not your typical art fair. It’s a bold, curated showcase of queer and allied contemporary artists from Mexico and beyond—brought to life through an innovative model that puts artists first. From CDMX and across international borders, IMMORTAL brings powerful work into view with professional presentation, inclusive storytelling, and dynamic visibility.
Each artist’s work is featured both in person and online, with sales managed through Artsy.net and storytelling amplified via TBQA’s podcast, publications, and community platforms. This is more than an exhibition—it’s a movement. A space for discovery, dialogue, and deep connection between artists and collectors.
