ESTAMPA 2026: Madrid's Premier Hub for Contemporary Prints & Multiples

Mark your calendars for September 24-27, 2026, as Madrid transforms into the epicenter of contemporary printmaking and artistic multiples at ESTAMPA 2026. Spain's most significant and internationally renowned art fair dedicated exclusively to these mediums returns to the expansive IFEMA - Feria de Madrid, promising a vibrant convergence of creativity, commerce, and critical discourse.

ESTAMPA stands apart by focusing intensely on the art of the print – encompassing etchings, lithographs, screenprints, woodcuts, digital prints, artist books, zines, unique multiples, and related innovative techniques. The 2026 edition is poised to build upon its stellar reputation, attracting an exceptional gathering of leading international galleries and publishers, alongside dynamic emerging spaces. Expect a diverse and high-quality showcase featuring established masters of the medium alongside cutting-edge contemporary artists pushing the boundaries of print and multiples. Galleries from Spain, Portugal, across Europe, Latin America, and beyond will present works ranging from classic editions to experimental installations and sculptural multiples.

The fair's core strength lies in its curated focus. Beyond the bustling aisles of gallery booths, ESTAMPA 2026 will present several specially curated sections designed to deepen the exploration of the print:

1. ESTAMPA Projects: A dedicated platform for large-scale installations, performances, and ambitious works that utilize print techniques or multiples in innovative ways, often site-specific to the fair environment.
2. ESTAMPA Libros: Highlighting the vital intersection of print and publishing, this section will feature artist books, rare zines, independent publishers, and small presses, celebrating the book as an artwork.
3. Curated Programs: Expect thoughtfully curated thematic exhibitions or group shows within the fair, often tackling specific historical moments, techniques, or conceptual approaches within the realm of print and multiples.

Beyond the visual feast, ESTAMPA fosters dialogue and engagement. The fair typically features a robust program of artist talks, curator-led walkthroughs, panel discussions, and workshops, offering invaluable insights into the creative processes and the evolving landscape of printmaking. This educational component is crucial for collectors, students, and enthusiasts alike.
