Our goal is to promote collecting and stimulate the current art market through specialized and dynamic events aimed at professionals, dealers and collectors, with the clear intention of reaching new audiences.

Art Madrid'24 will take place from March 6 to 10, 2024 at the Galería de Cristal of Palacio de Cibeles, with thirty six contemporary and emerging art galleries and around two hundred artists. This edition stands out for its general program of galleries and its parallel program of activities, a sign of Art Madrid's interest in surprising each edition with a fair that is current, fresh and close to the public. In this new edition of Art Madrid, the participating galleries offer the opportunity to discover the extensive production of their artists over the past year, a period dedicated to research and reflection, with creative results that will leave a significant mark on the contemporary art market.
