The Espacio Fundación Telefónica, the Canal foundation, the ABC Ilustration and Drawing Museum, the Santa Bárbara Palace, the Residencia de Estudiantes or the Sala de Arte Joven, are just some emblematic places where you will get to appreciate these exhibitions in Madrid.
Professional meetings.
In addition to the exhibits and open public spaces, ARCOmadrid counts with a series of areas for the carrying out of meetings between the museum professionals of Europe and Latin America, working sessions, curator conferences…
A cutting-edge event
That distant first edition of ARCO, that took place from the 10th to the 17th of February 1982, is much more than just a date. This occurrence helped to place Spain back at the forefront of the artistic inventions of the moment, right after the cultural blackout the country went through.
In that occasion, apart from the work of the newest artists, you could also find on display the artwork of more recent classics like Miró or Picasso.
