Art Madrid'24 returns to the art scene to celebrate its nineteenth edition. From March 6th to 10th, 2024, the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles will become the epicentre where the most innovative and current artistic trends from both national and international scenes will converge.

To celebrate its 19th edition, Art Madrid presents its General Gallery Program as well as exciting news about the Parallel Programme. Both initiatives aim to enrich the presence of an event that has already surpassed its satellite season, establishing itself in each edition as a reference point on the agenda of both the general and specialized public.

Thirty-six national and international galleries are represented in the General Gallery Programme of Art Madrid'24. The proposals, characterized by experimentation and the plurality of aesthetic discourses, will transform the space into an open window to the most cutting-edge artistic trends.

The participating galleries will offer the opportunity to see the production developed by their artists over the past year— a period dedicated to research and experimentation with new aesthetic codes. Throughout the fair, visitors will be able to see how their creative results are redefining the cultural landscape and positioning themselves within the ever-turning wheel of the contemporary art market.

The Art Madrid contemporary art fair

Art Madrid takes place each year as part of Madrid Art Week, the moment in the Spanish art calendar with the highest concentration of collectors, institutions and specialist press. With 22 years of history, the fair brings together national and international galleries with a programme focused on recently produced contemporary work.

Located at the Galería de Cristal del Palacio de Cibeles, in the cultural heart of the city and steps away from the Triángulo del Arte and the Paseo del Prado, Art Madrid offers participating galleries a distinctive and recognisable setting within the Spanish art fair landscape.
