True to its commitment to creating and promoting new opportunities for participating galleries, ARCOmadrid continues to consolidate itself as a key space for meeting the art community, collectors, and industry professionals internationally. Once again this year, the fair will remain a benchmark within the contemporary art market, bringing together quality proposals and a specialized audience.

In parallel to the main section, to which all galleries that meet the requirements outlined in the regulations can now apply, ARCOmadrid will once again host various curated programs.

In 2026, ARCOmadrid will celebrate its 45th anniversary, with ARCO2045 as its central theme, comprised of two spaces within the fair, curated respectively by José Luis Blondet and Magalí Arriola.

The curated sections will once again play a prominent role in shaping ARCOmadrid. The Opening: New Galleries section, curated by Anissa Touati and Rafa Barber, will bring together a selection of galleries with less than eight years of experience. Meanwhile, the Profiles / Latin American Art project, curated by José Esparza Chong Cuy, will renew ARCOmadrid's historic connection with the Latin American art scene.
