Estampa: come Thursday, before the red dots

Thursday is the day: the fair opens an hour earlier than the rest of the run, at 11.00. Friday to Sunday it is 12.00 to 20.00. More than fifty galleries show in Pavilion 5, with the participating projects selected by a committee of independent curators — Violeta Janeiro, Jesús Alcaide, Lorena Martínez de Corral, Miguel Álvarez Fernández, Enrique Andrés Ruiz, Sema D’Acosta and Alicia Ventura.

Esther Ferrer (San Sebastián, 1937) is the invited artist and presents a piece made for the fair — the reason to go beyond the booths. Public tickets are bought online or at the box office; press accreditation goes only to working professionals covering Estampa 2026 — journalists, photographers, audiovisual operators and specialist content creators — on application with a scanned valid press card, or failing that an article published in the last three months signed by you or a letter from the outlet you work for. Feria de Madrid (line 8) is the metro stop; buses 73, 104, 112, 122, 828 and SE709 also serve the venue.
