Incubator Project
For ARCOmadrid, Latitude has implemented an innovative Incubator Project, which has helped bring young galleries Emma Thomas, SIM Galeria and Galeria Jaqueline Martins to an international fair for the first time. Through this scheme Latitude has helped partner the galleries with more established member galleries such as Vermelho, Luciana Brito Galeria and Casa Triângulo to help guide them through all of the necessary steps required to attend. This programme has been implemented in partnership with ARCOmadrid, and this is the first year such a programme has been carried out.
Professional Meeting
Latitude will also be taking part in the Professional Meeting programme as part of ARCOmadrid, which will bring together over 150 arts professionals including critics and curators from around the world. Latitude will present a professional meeting, which will bring together similar gallery associations from other parts of the world, such as Germany, Hungary and Spain. The goal is to discuss challenges and successes within the sector and help build partnerships.
