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 presents One Shot Collectors, a program sponsored by One Shot Hotels that returns to the fair -now in its sixth edition- with the goal of making contemporary art collecting more accessible and encouraging new and established collectors alike. The initiative is designed to support both art professionals and new audiences interested in starting or strengthening a collection by providing tools, knowledge, and specialized guidance.

One Shot Collectors promotes an informed and approachable way of acquiring artworks, understanding collecting as a process that requires discernment, context, and time. The program serves as a bridge between the public and the artworks presented at the fair, fostering a confident and well-informed relationship with the art market.



The program is directed by Ana Suárez Gisbert, an art advisor with extensive experience in the art market. Her background includes artwork valuation and appraisal, as well as personalized advisory services throughout the acquisition process, helping participants identify works that align with their interests, budget, and goals. Her approach combines technical rigor with a strong commitment to best practices and sustainability within the art ecosystem.

Art collecting goes beyond the purchase of a single work. It involves an intellectual, aesthetic, and personal journey that connects collectors with the artist’s context, discourse, and creative process. Building a collection means developing a personal point of view, making informed decisions, and allowing the collection to evolve coherently over time, guided by enjoyment and confidence in one’s own taste.

So how do we decide where to focus and how to move forward? Where do we begin? How does one purchase connect to the next? A successful acquisition comes from following personal interests, learning to recognize what truly resonates with us, and staying informed before and throughout the process.

During Art Madrid’26, One Shot Collectors offered a personalized advisory service tailored to different profiles: established collectors, individuals acquiring their first artwork, and companies interested in developing collections aligned with their values and brand identity. The program adapts to a wide range of needs and offers customized tours of the fair based on aesthetic, conceptual, and budget considerations.

Our Art Advisor prepares a curated selection of artworks according to each buyer’s criteria and provides support throughout the negotiation process, offering a professional and strategic perspective. In this way, collecting becomes an informed, coherent, and rewarding experience.

Beginning a collection may stem from a desire for knowledge and aesthetic, social, economic, or even corporate exploration. At Art Madrid, we encourage collecting among individuals and companies interested in patronage and investment. This initiative is aimed at both professionals and contemporary art enthusiasts who wish to start or continue building a collection. Art Madrid presents a wide variety of works across disciplines such as photography, painting, sculpture, and installation, spanning a broad range of price points.

Whether you are an experienced collector, a first-time buyer, or a company seeking to express its values through art, the One Shot Collectors program offers a comprehensive experience.
