Art Madrid'24 – 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.
