From March 6 to 10, 2024, the Crystal Gallery of the Palau de Cibeles will become the epicenter where the most innovative and current artistic trends of the national and international scene will meet. To celebrate its 19th edition, Art Madrid presents its General Gallery Program and a renewed Parallel Program. Both proposals are aimed at enriching the presence of an event that has already passed its satellite season and is confirmed in each edition as a reference appointment in the agendas of the general and specialized public.
The General Program of Art Madrid'24 is made up of 36 carefully selected national and international galleries. The proposals, marked by experimentation and the plurality of aesthetic discourses, will turn the Galeria de Cristall into an open window towards the most disruptive artistic currents. Participating galleries offer the opportunity to see the production that their artists have developed in the last year; a time that has served for research and testing with new aesthetic codes. During the days of the fair, the attending public will be able to appreciate how their creative results redefine the cultural fabric and position themselves within the spinning wheel of the contemporary art market.
Art Madrid'24 returns with the vitality of its first editions, accompanying art on the rise and structuring an open and transversal fair proposal that puts the most latent problems of our context on the table.

A renewed and complete Parallel Program
The Parallel Program of Art Madrid'24 will feature a wide range of activities and actions that will take place in the forecourt of the event and during the days in which the 19th edition is held in its usual space of Crystal Gallery of the Palace of Cybeles:
Art Madrid'24 exclusively presents the first edition of Open Booth, a space dedicated to giving visibility to emerging artists and which on this occasion will be starring the installation: Meeting of very important people by the artist Marina Tellme.
The Intercessions X TARA FOR WOMEN Performance Cycle will revolve around the idea of Intercession: Action and effect of interceding for the good of others. And it proposes the works of four artists who start their professional career in the field of performative practices.
readings Curated tours is a cultural mediation initiative designed to bring the public closer to the exhibition proposals of the galleries participating in Art Madrid'24. For the occasion we have invited the cultural promoter Eugenia Tenenbaum and the curator Óscar Manrique.
As a preamble to the celebration of the event, Art Madrid has organized La Quedada, an itinerary for five artist studios that will participate in the next edition of the fair.
The X ONE SHOT COLLECTORS Collecting Program returns for another edition thanks to the sponsorship of One Shot Hotels. The proposal includes an advisory service for the acquisition of works by Ana Suárez Gisbert. In this edition the Curated Interviews Section will be led by cultural journalist Carlos de l'Amor.
