Art Madrid'26 – Art Madrid and FiArt Foundation will be partners in the next edition of the fair, february 2015

Create links that make possible a symbolic space for exchange, creation and reflection on the art world. With this aim, the contemporary art fair Art Madrid seeks cultural agents to develop their activities and complete their program as a main fair in Spain. This year, as we made last year with CASA AMÉRCIA and Korean Cultural Center, the International Fund Endowment for the Arts / FiArt, with over 15 years experience, will be one of our main partners.

 
FiArt aims to contribute to the development and strengthening of the Spanish cultural enviroment abroad, as an interactive platform that provides support to institutions and cultural professionals. Thus, creators and managers can have information, documentation and spaces (physical and virtual) for the development of their activities. Its main purpose would be to "develop artistic creativity in its various manifestations, through its exhibition, research and dissemination".
 
Leading fiart is a passionate art lover, the director Alma Ramas, who is working in perfect tandem with Alma Noblía, head of International Projects. Beside them, a cast of professionals in the field of cultural management, curating exhibitions and art criticism that have managed to expand the activities of the Foundation beyond our borders and have exported their exhibitions and courses to major museums Latin America.

ART MADRID’ 26: 21 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY ART


Discover all the information about the artists and galleries participating in the 21st edition of Art Madrid. The catalog features a curated selection of the works presented in this edition, along with the most relevant details of the event, making it an essential tool for engaging with the fair’s key figures and exploring the defining elements of today’s art scene.


In 2026, Art Madrid celebrates its 21st edition, further establishing itself as a leading event within Spain’s cultural sector. From March 4 to 8, the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles will once again become a meeting point for galleries, collectors, artists, and contemporary art enthusiasts.


Over the past twenty-one years, the fair has evolved into a dynamic and ever-expanding platform, fostering diversity in artistic languages, techniques, and discourses. In this edition, the Galleries Program brings together around 35 exhibitors from more than seven countries, offering a representative overview of the most recent developments in contemporary creation.


The Art Madrid ’26 catalog serves as a key publication for discovering the work of this edition’s galleries and artists —marked by experimentation and a plurality of perspectives— while also documenting the conceptual axes that shape the fair. As part of the Parallel Program, INHABITING THE EPHEMERAL: A Reflection on the “Species” of Spaces proposes a reflection on space, relationships, and shared experience, expanding the understanding of the fair beyond its commercial dimension and highlighting its cultural and experiential significance.


In addition, the catalog presents the initiatives that complete the program, such as the Open Booth dedicated to emerging creation, the Nebrija Space in collaboration with Nebrija University, the Performance Series “Open Infinite. What the Body Remembers,” the One Shot Collectors Program, and the Patronage Program, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to supporting, mediating, and accompanying contemporary art at every stage.

We invite you to discover more about Art Madrid ’26 through the catalog of its 21st edition — a publication that, beyond serving as documentary memory, becomes a cartography of the present artistic moment and an open door to new ways of inhabiting contemporary art.
