ARCOmadrid, the fair organised by IFEMA MADRID, returns to its usual dates to celebrate its 40 (+1) Anniversary, from February 23rd to 27th. A unique fair that will bring together past and future through the galleries and their essential relationship with artists and collectors.

Following the exceptional celebration of the fair in July of 2021, the commemorative edition of ARCOmadrid 2022 is conceived as a tribute to the actual galleries as the architects of the 40 (+1) consecutive editions of the fair. An edition that once again extols the professional reunion in front of the works at a fair that has endeavoured to uphold the learnings of the pandemic. Thus, in addition to continuing with its digital initiatives, ARCO presents itself in a more contained format, in response to the suggestions of the Organising Committee, with a view to improving the visitors’ experience and the galleries’ success.

Halls 7 and 9 of the Recinto Ferial de IFEMA MADRID will bring together the offer of a total of 185 galleries from 30 countries, 159 of which make up the General Programme, in addition to the curated sections: ARCO 40 (+1) Anniversary, with 19 galleries; Never the Same. Latin American Art, with 8, and Opening by Allianz, comprising 15 galleries.

All galleries will represent the art scene of these 40 (+1) years, linking the Fair’s past with the emerging artists of the future. In fact, this edition will once again be consolidated as a benchmark for research, discovery and awareness of new creative talents. In this sense, 66 galleries will
