Art galleries in Santiago
Galleries are best taken slowly. Santiago, Santiago has 46 mapped right now. That's 46 galleries mapped around Santiago. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Opening nights are the cheat code — free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that actually wants to talk about the work.
This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Santiago (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Centro Cultural Palacio de La Moneda and La Cueva del Conejo (Casa de Artistas), plus Museo de Artes Visuales. If a gallery's missing from Santiago's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about art galleries in Santiago
4 of the 46 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — galleries keep proper public hours, so plan around the listed times.
14 have websites listed. That's where the current exhibition is announced — the one thing worth checking before you visit.
There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.
14 galleries list websites — that's where the current exhibition is announced, and it's the one thing worth checking before you visit.

The efficient Santiago gallery walk strings these together: Centro Cultural Palacio de La Moneda, La Cueva del Conejo (Casa de Artistas) on 2500 Santo Domingo, Museo de Artes Visuales on 307 José Victorino Lastarria, Espacio Fundación Telefónica on 127 Avenida Providencia, Prima Galeria de Arte on 6500 Avenida Luis Pasteur, Galería Solar on 1060-D Avenida Providencia, Parque del Cómic on Llano Subercaseaux, and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo on 506 Ismael Valdés Vergara — 46 stops, one logical order. 38 more are listed below.
Gallery tips for Santiago
How the regulars do Santiago's galleries:
- Don't rush the video work at Centro Cultural Palacio de La Moneda. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
- Check the exhibition schedule first at La Cueva del Conejo (Casa de Artistas). A gallery is only as good as its current show. Two minutes on the website saves a wasted trip between exhibitions.
- Buy local art if you can. An original from a local artist costs less than you think and means more than any print. Start with works on paper.
- Small galleries take risks. Artist-run spaces show the work the big institutions won't. Some of it's baffling; some of it's the future.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Santiago — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Santiago can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 46, or a art gallery we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 46 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
Art gallery listings for Santiago: 46 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
