THE ART MADRID PATRONAGE PROGRAM IS LAUNCHED

This year, Art Madrid reinforces its support for artistic creation through its Patronage Program. This initiative aims to give greater visibility to artists and strengthen collecting through three lines of action: Acquisition Awards, Emerging Artist Award, and Residency Award.

Acquisition Awards

Three entities —Colección Studiolo, Colección E2IN2, and Devesa Law— reinforce their commitment to contemporary art by acquiring works from artists represented at the fair. Their determination not only contributes to the promotion of art but also fosters the growth of artists and strengthens the collecting ecosystem.

These types of initiatives are essential for ensuring the continuity and growth of creators. Thanks to these acquisition awards, the selected works will become part of important private collections, guaranteeing their preservation and dissemination within the artistic circuit.

Emerging Artist Award

Supporting young talent is another fundamental pillar. The hotel chain One Shot, in addition to sponsoring the One Shot Collectors program, awards a cash prize to an emerging artist who stands out for their innovative proposal at the fair.

This prize represents a key opportunity for artists in the process of consolidation, helping support their professional development and providing financial backing to allow them to continue exploring new avenues in their artistic production. Through this initiative, One Shot strengthens its commitment to art and the promotion of new voices in the contemporary art scene.

Residency Award

As part of the Patronage Program, Art Madrid and DOM Art Residence, in collaboration with ExtrArtis, have designed an artist residency program that will take place in Sorrento, Italy, during August 2025.

With these three initiatives, Art Madrid's Patronage Program positions itself as a platform for direct support of artistic creation, providing access to resources, visibility, and key opportunities for artists.
