After the two-year pause due to the pandemic, we were thrilled to be back with our flagship meeting for the gallery industry and art professionals.

The Barcelona Symposium is a unique opportunity for prominent art world figures to debate and reflect on various aspects of art gallery management and the market at large. The art world has changed significantly in these past two years.

Discussion topics in this year’s edition included the impact of NFTs in the gallery market; inclusiveness in the art world; the booming Parisian art scene; the relationships between art fairs and biennials; gallery practices in the secondary market; innovative projects between art and tech, among other relevant matters in today’s art world agenda.
