Oportunity to exhibit in Madrid

An international jury will select the 200 finalist paintings. All of them will be included in the virtual gallery, and around fifty will be chosen for the physical exhibition in Madrid, in the art’s Golden Mile, in the Landscape of Light where the Prado Museum shines. It will take place from June 5 to 12, 2025, at the impressive Ateneo de Madrid.
