festival-fair · 2026-05-08

The 34th edition of ARTESANTANDER is set to take place from July 2 to 5 at the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos de Santander, showcasing more than forty galleries from both national and international backgrounds. This marks the third edition directed by Mónica Álvarez Careaga, who has been at the helm since 2024, introducing a revamped format: four days (Thursday through Sunday), longer hours, and an earlier schedule. Aiming for greater accessibility, the fair will open to the public on Sunday morning. The previous edition experienced significant growth in both attendance and sales. The selection of galleries was curated with insights from Joaquín García Martín and Giulietta Zanmatti Speranza, featuring participants from cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Milan, including newcomers in the Platforms section.
