UVNT Art Fair 2024 opens its 8th edition at Matadero Madrid.
Madrid’s UVNT Art Fair opened its eighth edition today in a new venue, Matadero Madrid, running in time with Madrid Art Week through March 10th. The new location has enabled the fair to expand its presence, welcoming 38 national and international galleries (up from 34 in 2023). The presentation reflects a variety of current art trends, with an emphasis on figuration and painting.
The new venue, 10 meters high and almost 3,000–square-meters in area, responds to the needs of UVNT’s guests and exhibitors. “We’ve been considering the idea of moving for some time,” said Sergio Sancho, founder and director of UVNT. “Among other things, some of the galleries were starting to need more space, and Matadero Madrid had what we were looking for,” he added.
The event will feature the annual UVNT Mahou Talks, a series of conversations and activations in a space designed by Studio Animal. Additionally, the fair continues its support for emerging galleries through the Young Galleries section, which is dedicated to making the art world more accessible to young galleries and collectors alike; exhibitors in this section include Berlín Galería and Voskhod Gallery.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
