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.

On November 30, 2023, Galería La Cometa opened its doors in Miami, after several years of strong presence in the city. Since then, its programming has been the most accurate way to capture its own essence: a space where contemporary and modern art interact to bridge different artistic periods. The goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of the shifting contexts and ideas that have shaped the region's art. Thus, the aim of the entire team and the project as a whole is to serve Miami's artistic community, providing a valuable resource for reflection and dialogue between the North and the South.

With a strong commitment to promoting Latin American and Spanish artists, Galería La Cometa opened its doors in Madrid in February 2019, aiming to consolidate the link with the Madrid art scene and expand the visibility of Latin American art in Europe. The inaugural exhibition, featuring five contemporary Colombian artists, was an unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression on all who attended. The space initially focused on projects by Latin American artists and installation projects, but the exhibition calendar has evolved to include contemporary Spanish artists such as Juan Baraja and Paloma Gámez, further enhancing the gallery's appeal and cultural significance.

With the aim of consolidating its relationship with the Mexican art scene and expanding the presence of Latin American artists in the region, Galería La Cometa is opening its Project Space in Mexico City.

La Cometa’s relationship with Mexico has been built over more than a decade through various engagements, including our participation in Zona Maco, as well as visits, collaborations with artists, and conversations with a cultural scene that has drawn us back time and again. This journey has allowed us to forge connections that are now taking on a new form.

The Project Space was created as a space for encounter, exploration, and the development of new proposals, collaborations, and projects in dialogue with the Mexican art scene. This new phase begins in 2026 with a collaboration with Mexican artists Marek Wolfryd and Anuar Mauad, with whom La Cometa has been building a relationship, and will continue to expand to include new artists and projects.
