THE ASSOCIATION

Brief History

At the present moment in time, Contemporary Art is garnering more widespread recognition and difusion, largely thanks to the cultural programme ARCOmadrid has organised over the last twenty years and more. ARCOmadrid is also a meeting place for the art world, a place for exchanging views, popularising contemporary art, consolidating art collecting and reinforcing the contemporary art market in Spain. None of these influential and crucial tasks could have been undertaken without the ongoing altruist support and collaboration of the corporations, businesses and art lovers in the Amigos de ARCOmadrid Association.

One of the priority goals of this Association is to support and consolidate the art Fair while at one encouraging the involvement of the many people interested in supporting and working closely with our activities.

Activities

Experts Forum

The 8th Experts Forum is at the centre of the fringe activities revolving around the 29th ARCOmadrid, playing a crucial part in making the art fair a truly dynamic event for the critique and diffusion of the art of today.

ARCOmadrid throws a spotlight on agents in the art market whose experience and know-how broadens and enriches ARCOmadrid’s scope with each new edition. Artists, dealers, museum director and collectors as well as critics and historians are key nodes in the cultural network that will turn the city of Madrid and these debates into the centre of attention for art players from around the world.

Photographic Glimpses

Our Association created an interesting ongoing project to throw a spotlight on creative photography while fostering its incorporation into the wider contemporary art scene. PHOTOGRAPHIC GLIMPSES is a collection of photographs taken of and during ARCOmadrid by a range of invited photographers from all over the world.
