Galería La Cometa was founded over 35 years ago to contribute to the development of the local art scene. Since then, the gallery has been an exhibition space whose mission focuses on the representation, promotion and dissemination of mainly Latin American artists, becoming one of the most influential artistic platforms in the region. Today, La Cometa has four gallery spaces in three countries: Colombia (Bogotá and Medellín), Spain (Madrid) and the USA (Miami).

La Cometa is a project-based space designed to facilitate relationships between the viewer, the works of art, and the artists, through various expressions of contemporary art. In addition, the gallery's program seeks to incorporate Latin American Modern Art references, which provide a fundamental context for contemporary artistic creation.

To further strengthen the presence and reach of the gallery in Colombian, La Cometa opened its doors in the city of Medellín in 2019, in response to the growing local art scene. Artists Jim and Olga de Amaral were invited to inaugurate the second gallery space, whose curatorial program addresses the two missions of La Cometa in recent years: highlighting modern art references and the representation of contemporary artists.

Looking to connect the gallery's relationship with the Madrid art scene to the expanding visibility of Latin American art in Europe, La Cometa opened its doors in Madrid in 2019, with five of our contemporary Colombian artists. Initially, the space was designed to house projects by Latin American artists, both established and emerging, and to focus on installation projects. However, the exhibition calendar has slowly evolved to include Spanish artists such as Juan Baraja and Paloma Gámez, bridging the cultural exchange between the two continents.

Galería La Cometa is pleased to announce the opening of our newest gallery space in Miami, after several years of developing a strong presence in the city. Our programming will be representative of who we are: a space where the contemporary and the modern engage in dialogue with the Latin American vision. La Cometa aims to blur the boundaries of the various artistic periods, with the intention of gaining a deeper understanding of the shifting contexts and ideas that have shaped art in Latin America and the connective threads it shares with North America. Our mission is to serve the artistic community in Miami as a valuable resource for reflection and dialogue between the North and the South.
