Get ready because the eighth edition promises to be a unique experience, with new galleries and national and international proposals that will give a lot to talk about. To see the full line-up of artists you can do so here.

UVNT Art Fair 2024 contributes significantly to the promotion and celebration of contemporary art in Madrid, consolidating itself as a key player in the current art scene. During this week it attracts artists, collectors, curators, critics and art enthusiasts from all over the world. UVNT focuses on giving visibility to emerging artists, mid-career artists and other big names with a focus on the contemporary scene through various media such as painting, sculpture, photography, installations and digital art.

As part of its commitment to cultural transformation, UVNT Art Fair 2024 will develop a major Public Art Programme across the city, taking contemporary creation beyond the walls of the fair. The fair also includes a series of parallel artistic activations such as talks, meetings and workshops in the UVNT Mahou Talks space. This architectural project promises to surprise with its proposal of experimentation, colour and optimism, in line with the innovative spirit of the fair.

The New Contemporary Art Fair moves to a 10m high tent with a surface area of 3,000m2 in Matadero Madrid. On the occasion of the UVNT Public Art programme, you can now visit the sculptures by artists Cesc Abad (Gärna Art Gallery), Grip Face (La Bibi Gallery), Óscar Abraham Pabón (LAB36) and the Cool Shit collective in the Red de San Luis (Gran Vía and Montera), the corner between Gran Vía and Calle Alcalá, Plaza de Callao and Plaza de Matadero thanks to Lexus. In addition, the digital work of Chong Yan Chuah (Space Cowboys) will be at the entrance of the fair in Matadero Madrid.
