FAIM ART brings together over 70 artists in Madrid and adds Brasil
Madrid once again makes space for independent art with a new edition of FAIM ART. The fair will take place from 12 to 14 June at Fundación Pons, with free entry and more than 70 artists ready to present their work directly to the public.
The event is designed for those who want to approach art without the usual filter of galleries or large institutions. Here, visitors can speak to the creators, ask about the pieces, understand the processes and discover works of painting, photography, sculpture, digital or textile art in an approachable atmosphere.
This year’s edition will have Brazil as its guest country, with a selection of artists who will bring new perspectives to the fair. Their presence will broaden the route with proposals linked to painting, photography and other visual languages, reinforcing the international character of the gathering.
FAIM ART reaches its 22nd edition with a recognisable formula: giving visibility to emerging and established artists working outside the more conventional circuits. For many visitors, it is an opportunity to buy artwork, discover new names or simply walk around an art fair without feeling out of place.
The Fundación Pons, located right in the centre of Madrid, will host the event for three days. Its location makes it easy for the fair to work as an urban plan too: a cultural stop that is easy to combine with a walk, a meal or an afternoon in the area.
Free admission is one of the proposal’s strengths. In a city where many cultural experiences are becoming increasingly expensive, FAIM ART keeps its doors open to curious visitors, students, first-time collectors and families who want to approach contemporary art without pressure.
The fair will also feature activities and special initiatives linked to the participating artists. The intention is for the gathering not to be merely a static exhibition, but a space for conversation, exchange and direct contact between those who create and those who look.
FAIM ART adds a different event to an increasingly broad cultural agenda. It does not compete with the major museums or the more institutional fairs: it occupies another place, more accessible and flexible, where art is experienced up close and with little distance between the work, the artist and the public.
