Arco Madrid 2010

Arco comes back to Madrid for 2010

ARCO Madrid 2010, the must-visit event for contemporary art, opens its doors from February 17th through 21st in IFEMA. At this 29th edition of ARCO the city of Los Angeles is invited as a special guest and it’s the first time that a city has been invited, instead of a country, as was the norm in previous editions. The Californian city is very powerful regarding art and creativity, and with a selection from 17 major galleries, curated by Kris Kuramitsu and Christopher Miles, the art fair will give you the chance to get acquainted with the art scene from one of the USA’s major centres of production.
