INNOVATING

for THE Global ART LOVER

Since 2015

Art is soul food that can elevate the emotional voice and transform the human experience.

For those who want to connect welcome to BLOC Art! We are the local art portfolio of Peru.

Since 2015, we have connected 40 Latin American artistic talents, of which 30 are from Peru, to the local and intricate international art ecosystem. Whether new or well-known, contemporary or classical - we welcome a kaleidoscope of art creators.

Speaking directly to the art lovers: to be human, is to be-in-relation. We thus dedicate ourselves to bring the art world to you through unconventional and alternative ways.

Dine at one of our top locations in Lima to taste local culinary flair from handcrafted tableware that was made by a new generational ceramist of the country. Visit us at local and international exhibits and fairs. We can also arrange a private visit to an art collection in the country or advise you on customising a space or your home.
