Don Felipe and Doña Letizia visited the pavilions 7 and 9 of IFEMA, which host the different galleries, galleries, and sections, and knew first-hand opinions and the different ways of seeing the news, from the point of view of Art as a fundamental reference.
In line with its desire for innovation and constant research, the fair does not have as its central theme a country or a region, but a concept: “The Future”, an exhibition program with a unique design that includes galleries and artists from several generations and geographical areas.
At the galleries, the royals viewed different art exhibitions.
ARCOmadrid 2018 brings together a total of 211 galleries from 29 countries, of which 160 are part of the General Program, adding to them the curated sections: “The future is not what is going to happen, but what we are going to do”, with a selection of 20 galleries; “Diálogos”, with 14 and “Opening”, with 19.
