2014 Overview
ARCOmadrid 2014 is a fair both for contemporary art professionals and art-lovers and the general public, with initiatives to suit their different interests. The first two days, February 19 and 20, are devoted to collectors, curators, and directors of museums, biennials and art centres, when the Fair is the best meeting point and space for sharing projects.

Attended by more than 250 collectors from around the world and 150 special guests, the professional sessions focus on gallery proposals and are completed by a programme of round tables and meetings that add greater relevance to ARCOmadrid. Alongside the Collectors' Forum and the Professional Sessions, this year's edition includes a new feature, the course Inside Collecting: Design, Management, Finance, co-ordinated by Skate's Art Market Research, which analyses the design and creation of a collection. Another new feature is 'Artist Talks', directed by Maria Inés Rodríguez, the newly-appointed director of Bordeaux CAPC, offering a space for reflection about the works of art on show at ARCOmadrid through different cross-disciplinary dialogues with artists. Professionals can also take part in WALK with the curator, a visit to the ARCOmadrid galleries with curators invited by the Fair.
