Arte a un Click is a magazine, a platform for contemporary art and a catalyst for culture. It is also a fantastic team of committed professionals and for Art Madrid'18 it is a luxury to collaborate with them.

Arte a un click

Its main objective, as a communication platform of contemporary art, is to bring art to the general public, but, at the same time, they offer personalized and professional services for art fairs, artists, galleries and art centers.

Arte a un click

Arte a un Click activity focuses on fairs, festivals and exhibitions, although the web offers a wide variety of content. Interviews with gallerists, emerging and consecrated artists, directors of projects, combine with exhibition reviews, agenda... Always from a professional perspective marked by the search for understanding, approach and passion for art. José Luis Calleja Isla, deputy director of the space, explains that: "we want that the contents we offer reach the public in a fresh and sincere way, because our contents are not only curated but collected with art in mind and, above all, with the creators, authentic protagonists of our space."

Attentive to fairs and festivals, centers of sponsorship, exhibition and knowledge of all the novelties in the art of the moment and aware of the need for the collector and, therefore, the sale as a plausible and desirable option, another of their business branches it is the organization of exhibition projects for those fairs, such as those developed for Jäälphoto, ArtNitCampos, Room Art Fair, MARTE, Art & Breakfast, Art Photo Bcn and Cultur3 Club.

In 2017 its services have increased and they have specialized in online content, more adapted to the audience of the digital world. "The diffusion in social networks is nowadays a great challenge, the changes are vertiginous and continuous, and we can not pretend that the creator, the gallery owner or the curator is dedicated to follow those changes. For example, before twitter was a network that generated a huge movement, now, if you do not have a target audience very, very focused on what you offer, the scope is scarce. Facebook is still the most important network, although it may seem that Instagram is now the most influential network, we must bear in mind that these are different audiences. While the first one searches more personalized content, the second is aimed primarily at the younger generations. It is therefore necessary to define very well the market niche and decide which platform works best. Everything is tremendously fast, that is why it is so important that our networks are composed by a stable and faithful public that allows us to get quality content," explains Mercedes Palaín, responsible for RRSS in Arte a un Click.

"The starting point to establish a work strategy for a specific client is the detailed study of what he wants to offer to the public, it is not the same to promote an emerging artist in networks than to support the work of a gallery that has been open for years. We need to study in detail what he has done to spread his space or his work in order to be able to offer the resources that produce the most with the least possible investment, which is what everyone is looking for, "adds Mila Abadía, director of the platform .

Among its clients, in addition to Art Madrid, stand out MARTE, International Fair of Contemporary Art of Castellón, the gallery of Santiago de Compostela OlaLAB Cultural Action and the gallery of Barcelona Art Deal Project. "Writing about spaces and fairs of such interest is always a challenge, expressing what you feel and doing it trying to get the reader to penetrate what you are perceiving is a unique experience," explains Ana Gr Yñañez, journalist in Arte a un Click.

Mujeres Mirando Mujeres

One of the main and most recent projects of Arte a un Click, for the quality and the wide recognition obtained, is "Mujeres Mirando Mujeres", which celebrates its fourth edition. This online initiative claims the preponderant role of women in the artistic field and, year after year, thanks to the commitment of its participants, it is more and more relevant in the social debate about Art and Gender.

The project was based on the individual invitation to different agents of art, but now they have opened the call and its platform of visibility to all those cultural agents who want to apply to participate and join one of its formats: PRESENTATIONS of artists made by curators, galleries, directors of art fairs, managers of cultural spaces, museologists, or theoreticians. INTERVIEWS of artists made by bloggers or specialized journalists, and INVITED PROJECTS. Initiatives managed or curated by art managers, always oriented to implement actions of a collective that supports artists. They publish the articles daily starting on March 8, International Women's Day.

In this edition they extend the project with the collective exhibition "The power of the presence" (Est_Art Space, Alcobendas, Madrid, from 16 of March to the 15 of May), with artists of the three first editions. "With the exhibition we want to highlight the fact that the empowerment of women in all areas of life goes through presence, being and doing. We seek that the artists reflect on the positioning of women in the art world and the questioning of commons themes in which the women have been relegated. We seek works that change the discourse of dominance, narratives with a liberating perspective for women in art, also artists as transforming agents of reality", explains Adriana Pazos Ottón, artist, curator and part of the Arte a un Click.

At the most recent edition of Art Madrid, artist Luis Olaso (Bilbao, 1986), represented by Kur Art Gallery (San Sebastián), received the Residency Prize of the Art Madrid Patronage Program. This award, the result of a collaboration between Art Madrid, DOM Art Residence, and the Italian association ExtrArtis, enabled him to undertake an artistic residency in Sorrento (Italy) in August 2025.

Through initiatives like this, the fair reaffirms its support for contemporary creation—a commitment aimed at increasing artists’ visibility and strengthening art collecting through concrete actions such as acquisition prizes, recognition of emerging talents, and international residencies.

The DOM & ExtrArtis 2025 Residency Program took place in Sorrento from August 1 to 31, 2025. The artists lived together at Relais La Rupe, a 16th-century villa surrounded by cliffs and centuries-old gardens, which became an ideal setting for experimentation and exchange.

In this edition, residents worked around the theme “Reimagining Genius Loci”, an invitation to reflect on how the movement of people and traditions transforms the “spirit of place.” During the residency, DOM organized two public group exhibitions: the first to present the artists’ previous work, and the second to showcase the projects developed in Sorrento.

Luis Olaso’s work moves between expressionist figuration and abstraction, always employing a pictorial language charged with strength and emotion. Initially self-taught, he later graduated in Fine Arts and has developed a solid international career, with exhibitions at venues including JD Malat (London) and Makasiini Contemporary (Turku, Finland), and participation in fairs such as Untitled Miami, Estampa, and Art Madrid itself.

His work is part of prestigious collections, including the Tokyo Contemporary Art Foundation, Fundación SIMCO, and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, and has been recognized in competitions such as the Reina Sofía Prize for Painting and Sculpture and the Ibercaja Young Painting Prize.

In Sorrento, Olaso found a unique context to expand his pictorial research, engaging in dialogue with the Mediterranean landscape and the region’s historical heritage. The residency provided him with time, resources, and a framework for exchange with other international artists, fostering the production of new works that were later presented in the group exhibitions organized by DOM.

Luis Olaso’s experience at DOM Art Residence concluded with a public showcase of the works produced, reinforcing his presence on the international circuit and consolidating his position as one of the most prominent Basque artists on the contemporary scene.

Through initiatives such as this, Art Madrid demonstrates its active role as a platform for direct support of contemporary creation, creating opportunities for research, production, and intercultural dialogue that extend beyond the fair itself and accompany artists in their professional development.
