February 23–27, 2022
ARCOmadrid returns to its usual date to celebrate its 40 (+1) Anniversary, from February 23 to 27. A unique project set to bring past and present together through the galleries and their essential relationship with artists and collectors.
Following the exceptional celebration in 2021 of an edition that re-activated the long-awaited encounters between galleries and collectors, ARCOmadrid 2022 will undoubtedly be a unique event and time for celebration, bringing together a selection of the big names on the international gallery scene, galleries that have always been present at ARCOmadrid throughout its history, that will be invited to participate in the fair’s commemorative section, ARCO 40 (+1) Anniversary. A programme made up of galleries selected by María Inés Rodríguez, Sergio Rubira and Francesco Stocchi.
This tribute to the Fair will take place parallel to the contents exhibited by the galleries selected by the Organising Committee in the General Programme, and the participants in the curated sections. ARCOmadrid will continue its emblematic Opening section dedicated to young galleries with less than seven years experience. A sample of the international young gallery scene will be provided by galleries invited by the curators Övül Ö. Durmusoglu and Julia Morandeira.
On the other hand, the fair’s latest section entitled Never the Same, Latin American Art, will explore new forms of collaboration between artists and galleries. It will comprise a selection of Latin American artists from international galleries which, curated by Mariano Mayer and Manuela Moscoso, will help strengthen the fair’s Latin American positioning through galleries from different countries.
Continuing the initiative started the last edition, this year the Artist Projects section will once again be dedicated exclusively to women.

ARCOmadrid 2022 will continue to host the art publications section in the ArtsLibris area, aimed at an initiation in collecting. Various presentations of new publications in the ArtsLibris Speaker´s Corner will complete this section.
