ArtsLibris will be present again this year at ARCOmadrid. In this seventh edition, it presents 55 national and international exhibitors, with a notable presence of publishers from Brazil, Mexico and Portugal, in addition to an extensive cultural program starring participating artists and publishers. This year, for the first time, our space for presentations and debates, Speakers’ Corner, is joined by the programming of the galleries participating in ARCO.
