From June 6 to 9, the Santa Bárbara Palace will hold cerARTmic, a contemporary art fair dedicated entirely to ceramics.
Madrid is the epicenter of art at the national level. Every year, the capital hosts multiple fairs and events, in addition to having hundreds of galleries. Within this ecosystem, contemporary art has a fundamental role. However, it is the first time that we will be able to see a contemporary art fair dedicated entirely to ceramics. This is cerARTmic, which will be held from June 6 to 9 at the Palacio de Santa Bárbara. Its strong commitment to this discipline consolidates at the local level what is already a global trend, giving a turn to innovation. It does so based on five essential values: tradition, innovation, sustainability, quality and closeness.
