Hay (haber)

Alguna (indefinite adjective)
Alguna agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies; here it is feminine singular to match expo.
Expo (colloquial noun)
Expo is a shortened, informal form of exposición (exhibition). It is feminine, so adjectives must agree with it.

Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries "expo" is a colloquial shortcut for "exposición" and is perfectly fine in informal speech. In formal writing or when speaking to museum staff, use "exposición". Also, remember that "arte" can refer to any visual art, but if you want to be specific (e.g., "arte contemporáneo"), add the qualifier after the noun.
