The sixth edition of the UVNT Art Fair will be held from 24 to 27 February with the participation of 32 galleries and more than 100 artists.
The most important contemporary art fair in Spain returns with its sixth edition. It arrives with more galleries, more spaces and a new name: the celebration known as Urvanity Art now called UVNT is a space where you can get to know artistic languages that do not understand labels and discover new trends in the art world.
This new installation of UVNT will take place at the usual venue of the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid (COAM), from 24 to 27 February. The fair brings us the latest in contemporary creation from national and international galleries from New York, Buenos Aires or Amsterdam among others.

After five editions, UVNT has matured: “we haven’t changed as a fair, but we have evolved. We want to explore fresher languages, integrate other aesthetic codes and seek new trends in the art world, and this is represented by emerging artists as well as mid-career artists and big names,” explains Sergio Sancho, the event’s director.

In addition, with the aim of promoting these young and emerging artists, the fair has the Young Galleries section dedicated to promoting young artists who are making a name for themselves in the market.
This year, they also have a subversive and innovative experience from Formica Group. The Lab space will be transformed into an organic forest thanks to the company’s lamination, which will fuse new textiles, ceramics, graphic works… All in the same sustainable space, which will allow the public to enter into the most artistic nature.
