is committed to promoting the appreciation and recognition of contemporary art through a dynamic and historically grounded aesthetic. Since its founding in 2022, the gallery has worked to build a vibrant artistic community, representing emerging and mid-career artists from Latin America whose works explore the boundaries of form, texture, and materiality. Through sustained and dedicated engagement with contemporary practices, TRA aims to position its artists’ productions within the international art circuit.
TRA challenges conventional perspectives and encourages the exploration of innovative artistic forms, prioritizing the creative autonomy of artists and fostering an environment where breaking boundaries and engaging closely with the public are central.
With headquarters in Miami and José Ignacio, a temporary programming in Buenos Aires, and a forthcoming new location in the same city, TRA seeks to foster dialogue between local and international art scenes. Its mission is to create meaningful exchanges that reaffirm its commitment to connecting the region’s cultural richness with the global stage, generating an impact that transcends borders through a program that is rooted yet constantly moving and evolving in dialogue.
In 2025, TRA consolidates this vision by participating in five key international art fairs — arteBA, ArtBo, BA Photo, Paris Photo and NADA Miami — expanding visibility and collecting opportunities for its artists and strengthening its presence in the global contemporary art scene.
