Feriarte 2026 targets excellence to attract leading international collectors

Feriarte is embarking on a new chapter with its 49th edition, taking place from 21 to 29 November in Hall 5 at IFEMA MADRID. As it approaches its 50th anniversary, Spain’s leading event for collectors is undergoing a strategic renewal, becoming more selective and aligning with the standards of the international fair circuit.

Organised by IFEMA MADRID, Feriarte will bring together around 75 antique dealers and art galleries. This edition marks the launch of a new visual identity that reflects the fair’s evolution and renewed focus on excellence and international outreach. This change is not merely aesthetic but conceptual: the fair is strengthening its identity and redefining its criteria to attract more discerning, internationally minded collectors.

In this context, Feriarte 2026 is moving towards a more demanding, curated model in which quality, authenticity and the historical‑artistic significance of works take centre stage. The Organising Committee, together with the Committee of Experts—more than 30 specialists across various disciplines—is strengthening its oversight to ensure a rigorous, coherent programme that remains true to the exhibition’s core values.

The result is a high‑value proposal that bridges antiquity and contemporaneity, featuring pieces from furniture and decorative arts to painting, sculpture and archaeology, offering a transversal journey through the history of art. Feriarte, therefore, establishes itself as a unique venue where exceptional works coexist under expert scrutiny and with authenticity guarantees.

This evolution responds to growing interest in cultural assets and a dynamic market, as well as to the emergence of new collector profiles, including international residents based in Spain—particularly in Madrid. Accordingly, Feriarte is widening its scope beyond the Iberian Peninsula to attract European dealers and buyers, thereby strengthening its reach and market positioning.

As part of this renewed vision, the fair will incorporate a programme of content that dialogues with the history of collecting. Under the concept “The Grand Tour” Feriarte will present the cultural movement from the 17th to the 19th centuries that laid the foundations of modern collecting, reinterpreting its legacy from a contemporary perspective. The programme underscores the fair’s role as a space for knowledge, discovery and contextual understanding.

With nearly five decades of history, Feriarte looks to the future, committed to becoming a must‑attend event on the international calendar and offering exhibitors and collectors an environment of the highest quality, trust and opportunity.

Feriarte thus enters a new phase: more selective, more international and aligned with the demands of the global market, reaffirming its leadership in antiques and collecting.
