ARTESANTANDER 2026 announces new dates and hours

ARTESANTANDER will celebrate its 34th edition from July 2nd to 5th at the Santander Exhibition and Congress Centre, once again bringing together more than forty national and international galleries next to the Sardinero beaches. In this third edition under the direction of curator and cultural producer Mónica Álvarez Careaga, who has led the project since 2024, the fair consolidates a renewed model that reduces its duration to four days, from Thursday to Sunday, extends opening hours, and moves its dates forward by one week compared to previous editions. The program is thus concentrated on the weekend and incorporates Sunday morning opening to the public, with the aim of offering a more accessible and flexible experience. This new impetus comes after a previous edition that became the most international in its history and registered a significant increase in both visitors and sales, reinforcing the fair’s international reach.
