BUENOS AIRES COLLECTORS TRIP
January 15-23, 2009
Join us this January 2009 in South America for a sultry art-filled adventure in Buenos Aires!!! Known as the “Paris of the South” for more than a century, the Porteños (as citizens of this port city are called) are fast forging a new global identity. With capacious parks, broad boulevards, a rich arts scene and burgeoning food, wine and fashion industries, BA is developing rapidly, thanks to the influx of foreign investors, tourism and innovative creative entrepreneurs. The docklands of Puerto Madero are developing apace, new bars and restaurants launch almost daily in Palermo.
And then there′s the art.
Argentinean art is elegantly rich and complex, certainly reflecting the country′s complicated history.
The Jacobs Group™ pride ourselves in creating unique, person-to-person experiences. We′ll take you through neighborhoods with university-trained historians, and introduce you to artists, gallerists, curators and private collectors – experiences that would never be found through a guidebook!
The first time I ever visited Buenos Aires, I felt like I had returned home! I invite you to accompany me to probably my favorite place in the world!
Both packages include all of the following:
Accomodations at a stylish boutique hotel or luxury condominium in the heart of the city.
Expert english speaking guides and historians.
Introductions to local curators and gallerists.
Gain access to view private art collections.
Ongoing arts consultancy from Jennifer Jacobs and local arts consultants.
Meet local Argentian contemporary artists face to face.
Welcome and farewell events and meals.
