The young and independent hotel chain One Shot Hotels, once again sponsors the contemporary art fair Art Madrid, maintaining its commitment to artistic creation. Art, culture, beauty and creation are part of the daily life of each of the hotels, but "not as added elements, but rooted in their identity and expressed in the distribution of their spaces, in the design of their environments and in the choice of furniture".

Since its inception, One Shot Hotels has supported art in all its formats and disciplines. Proof of this are the numerous cultural proposals and initiatives carried out by the hotel chain since its creation in 2013. For the second consecutive year, One Shot supports the "One Shot Collectors" program, which in addition includes an advisory program for collectors by art advisor Ana Suárez Gisbert and a tour with a selection of 12 reflective pieces, curated by the art critic and independent curator Natalia Alonso Arduengo.

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.
